Description
Early morning, 18th April 1906, the city of San Francisco awakes shaken by a massive earthquake of magnitude 8.6 on the Richter scale and by a huge fire that started afterwards. Even today, it is still classed as one of the worst natural disasters in the USA.
In 1906 San Francisco, you are a property developer for the rapid reconstruction of San Francisco during the five years after the large-scale destruction. Get plots of land and earn money for rubble removal so that you can construct buildings, plan urban development for essential services, and improve the city for its modernization.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action selection tied to turn order — Players choose actions which also dictate their position in the next round's turn order, creating a tense strategic decision.
- Simultaneous turn order and action selection — Each round has sub-rounds where players choose from actions laid out in a randomized order, simultaneously deciding their turn order for the next round.
