What this is
In Belfort, players compete with other architects to build the city using dwarves, elves and gnomes. Players manage their resources and gold well, choose their buildings wisely, and help build the city of Belfort! Buildings give they influence in the districts as well as income, but taxes increase based on their score so the winning players will have to pay more than those behind!
