Gameplay Overview

In Triborough: The Card Game, players take turns drawing, planning, and building a tableau of cards representing projects all envisioned by Robert Moses. Each card has a cost to complete, a political capital value that can be used towards completing other projects, a type, and a region.

On their turn, a player may draw a card, place a card into planning, or spend a card from their hand towards completing a card already in planning. Once a card in planning is completed, the player then places that card in a tableau in front of them. Careful planning is required as adjacent cards might give bonus points based on the card's region and/or type. Cards spent towards the project are then placed in any order the player sees fit back on the top of the draw deck.

The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. For more detailed information, download the instruction booklet or read this article about the design the game.
