Build a city, make a fortune!

Step into the shoes of a savvy property developer in Magnate: The First City, where your ambition is to establish an empire in the heart of a bustling property boom.

Your journey begins with snapping up valuable land and constructing buildings in prime locations. Attract high-valued tenants and watch as your wealth skyrockets! But tread carefully—every new development opens the door to fierce competition. Will you find fortune, or will you be left exposed when the inevitable market crash strikes?

Magnate: The First City is an engaging midweight strategy game crafted for 1 to 5 players. Each turn presents new opportunities as you expand your property empire. You can:

  • Buy prime plots of land
  • Construct an array of buildings
  • Market your developments to attract the right tenants
  • Sell properties for their capital value

In each round, seize the chance to invite tenants into your empty buildings. Successful tenant attraction means rental income flowing in, which in turn boosts the value of your assets, while also creating exciting new possibilities for you and your rivals.

However, in the world of Magnate, not all locations will suit every tenant’s needs. With four distinct tenant types—residential, offices, retail, and industry—it's crucial to consider how their desires shape the neighborhood. For example, an airport may attract office tenants but deter potential residents. Use clever tactics and strategic placements to entice tenants while minimizing benefits for your competitors.

As your property portfolio expands, land prices soar, setting the stage for an inevitable market crash that could decimate your holdings. The timing of this crash isn’t fixed; it will be influenced by the collective actions of players as they buy land and sell properties. Careful timing and strategic foresight can save you from catastrophic losses and pave your path to becoming the wealthiest property magnate in the city!
