Overview
Irondale is a Pure Card game from Small Box Games. In Irondale, players help to build new structures in the city of Irondale. In this mix of a tile laying and city building game, players build new structures next to prexisting structures. Each building scores points based on what has already been built and/or what it is built next to. Additionally, each building grants the builder, and anyone building next to it, special abilities. Each card represents one building belonging to one of four building types, in addition to having a master plan. Players score additional points by building structures according to a master plan.
