It is the mid-19th century. The city of Barcelona is the most densely populated city in all of Europe. Shortly after the old city walls were finally destroyed, Ildefons Cerdà, who is now regarded as the inventor of urbanism, presented the plan for the creation of "Eixample," the expansion that Barcelona so desperately needed. Its construction began in 1860.In Barcelona, you will take on the role of builders in 19th-century Barcelona, working on the new expansion of the city. Your main goal is to construct buildings to accommodate the citizens who wish to leave the old city, and in the process, you will also build streets, create tram lines, and construct public services. You may even decide to explore "Modernisme," a new architectural and artistic style that has gained popularity among the wealthy.Barcelona is played over a variable number of rounds interrupted by three scoring phases before a final scoring phase. Each round, each player takes a single turn consisting of two or more actions, a building phase, and then preparation for their next turn.
