About Wettstreit der Baumeister

Jean du Poël put this game out on the market for about a year before the game's name was changed to Wettstreit der Baumeister in 1998. This translates to "Contest of the Architects". The game has a beautiful assortment of large, thick tiles to represent the cities. Players bid on a single building tile every turn, with half the proceeds going to the auctioning player.
