Penny Lane

Penny Lane is a ‘worker placement’ game in which the players aim to build the most prosperous and prominent street in town. You can build houses, shops and attractions, and you will also need to employ the town’s residents so that they can generate income in your particular street. Penny Lane also contains an element of tableau-building, where players score bonus points or extra income if they manage to ‘link’ their buildings.

Each round consists of an action phase followed by an upkeep phase. In the action phase, players can choose either to take an action on the high street or to pass. The action phase continues until everyone has passed. To take an action on the high street, the player chooses one of the shared high street action cards – and places the required number of coins on the action space. The player then carries out the card’s action.

The final round of the game is triggered when one of the players has 10 or more points on their street. The player with the most points wins the game.
