GAME mechanics

• Placing Parts - At the heart of New York 1901 is the tile placement mechanic, where players build skyscrapers on a board that represents areas of Manhattan. Each player has a set of skyscrapers available divided into three different types, which must be placed in strategic spaces. The choice of where to place your pieces can significantly affect your dominance in the city. Personally, I remember a game in which I chose the wrong place, blocking my future expansions. Plan your buildings wisely to optimize them and outperform your opponents.
• Influence / Majority in the Area - This mechanic focuses on players' ability to control specific areas of the board, strengthening their position in Manhattan. Dominating regions allows players to score more points, based on the view that having buildings in popular neighborhoods is crucial. During a Saturday night, my strategy of focusing on a reduced area paid off when I managed to take the lead. The art here lies in maximizing presence in the right districts, acting to block or limit competing actions.
