What this is
In Bruxelles 1893, players manage their workers to help usher in a new era of culture and progress in Brussels. The action board is modular, with not every player having access to each action each turn. After five rounds, the game ends and players score bonus points based on their architect level, their bonus cards, how well they've completed their work, and their money on hand.
