Go On the Road for Fans, Stack Buildings on Sunrise Lane, and Trade to Create Waterfall Park

Lay out 27 tiles in a path, with three night tiles dotted along the way and a mainstage tile at the path’s end.

On a turn, play one of three movement cards in your hand, then move your van that many spaces (with more options if you start on a van space). If you land on one of the four types of landscape tiles, you take a matching token (if available), then add “fans” (stars in your color) to the bag; if you land elsewhere, take a pink location token. Draw a new movement card, then if you ended on a night tile, draw fans from the bag equal to the number of pink location tokens you have, placing your fans on the mainstage tile and other fans on the porta-potty tile.

Once you move to the mainstage, you take a ticket, then draw fans as before, and each subsequent turn you either draw one additional fan or return one of your fans from the porta potty to the bag.

You can discard location tokens to affect the bag draw, for example, placing a fan of yours on the mainstage instead of the porta potty when an opponent draws it, but this hurts your fan-gathering abilities on future turns.

Whenver the mainstage is full, the game ends and whoever has the most fans on it wins.

In Sunrise Lane, players take on the role of construction companies attempting to build up a residential neighborhood, and to do this, they need to pick prestigious plots of land on which to build houses and town structures.

In more detail, the game board depicts a grid of spaces that each show 1-4 houses in a single color, and each player has a set of colored buildings, with the colors having no connection to the space on the board. On a turn, you either draw two colored cards from the deck and add them to your hand (with a limit of five cards in hand) or discard cards to place a building, then draw a card.

When you build, you must build adjacent to an occupied space (except at the start of the game), and you must discard cards of the same color as the space on which you want to build. You can discard 1-4 cards, after which you place 1-4 of your buildings on this space, then score points equal to the number of houses on the space multiplied by the number of buildings you placed. You can build multiple buildings on a turn as long as they are adjacent.

When a player has at most two buildings in their supply, the game ends, then players score endgame points, with two of the districts awarding points for the highest buildings and the other two for the most buildings. Additionally, points go to the player with the longest chain of buildings.

Chinatown is a negotiation game in which players acquire ownership of sections of city blocks, then place tiles, representing businesses, onto the block-sections. At the end of each turn, each tile you’ve laid gives you some sort of payout, but completed businesses (formed of three to six connected tiles of the same type) pay quite a bit better. All these resources are dealt to the players randomly, however, so players must trade to get matching businesses and adjacent locations.

Your goal in Waterfall Park is to trade and exchange attractions to build the biggest amusement park in the world. The particularity of this park is that it is built vertically on huge towers in the middle of the ocean.

Waterfall Park is shorter and more family friendly than Chinatown, and the exchanges and interactions have been significantly increased to make the game even better.
