Kardinal

Published 2000

A quick little abstract strategy where players take turns placing buildings in a growing city. There are 7 rules that make placing buildings a little tricky (e.g. no buildings of the same type next to each other). When you place a building, you gain points in the colors that you placed your piece next to. At the end of the game, double the color you scored highest in and add up the rest (including the points in your color the other players didn't score) - Highest total wins.
