Milton Keynes (2011)

"Milton Keynes is a not-very-politically-correct strategy board game for 2 to 5 players. Combining elements of topology & connectivity, empire-building, bidding, bluffing and trading, it delivers a fun and thoughtful gaming experience time and time again. Collect income from your buildings to buy land from farmers and make "campaign contributions" to local politicians, a necessity for obtaining decent plots. Buildings with many neighbours fetch more rent so don't be the first to build in the middle of nowhere! Political influence might let you play dirty tricks on your opponents. Don't be too surprised if they return the favour though. "
