Read the full game description

GoTown is a card game of real-estate ego that invites a bit of (un)friendly competition. Each player tries to build a five-story tower first. Floors are made of two floor cards placed side-by-side. It's totally okay to steal or destroy other player's stories, among other special actions. So protect your construction with a guard dog, play the donut food truck to send everyone on a break, and watch out! You are not the only one reaching for the sky...
