Easily one of my favourites, a simple building game controlled by a random deck of cards. The joy comes in getting the other players to fight each other and not me. I've never bothered going for the tallest tower, it seems a futile battle for little reward. I do go for most majorities, or for forcing draws in the scoring. Avoid winning the first round, they'll just pick on you. A must buy game.

An elegant game that should appeal to both gamers and non-gamers alike. Easy to learn and quick to play. Plenty of strategy. Protect yourself or get the leader. Your choice LOCATION: C3
Very nice game with interesting mechanic. What makes it even better is the King Kong variant. Fun, fun, fun!! The interaction between players is then immense. You're knocking down buildings like there's no tomorrow!! And people get pissed! :) Love this game! One of the oldies too. Should always be played with the King Kong variant! I recommend it, if you want liven up a stiff crowd. ;)
Everyone will play this! Just ask 'em. Too bad it's only four players . . . just imagine the skyscrapers of an eight player game. Even if I could afford two copies, I'd still have to paint one set of pieces to distinguish them . . . hmmm . . .
This game has very simple mechanics and scoring with high player interaction. The interaction has a lot of attempted influence of other player's actions as almost every play affects someone else. On BSW
