Skybridge
Before dealing out 2 starting cards to each player, roll the dice and place the Skybridge on the street between two of the back lots based on the die results:
- 1: A4-C1
- 2: A5-C2
- 3: B5-D2
- 4: B6-D3
- 5: C10-E1
- 6: D9-F3 for 3+ players, or C11-E2 in a 2 player game
Two lots connected by a Skybridge are treated as if they are adjacent during the game.
Building Boom
Place 2 Skybridges next to the board. You may play with up to 4 Skybridges. A new action is added to the game.
Action - Skybridge
When you take the Skybridge action, you construct a bridge across a side street between two like-colored casinos where you are the boss.
- Choose two lots that are not on the strip where you are the boss, that are the same color, and that are adjacent to each other across a side street.
- Pay $5 for each lot in both casinos.
- Take one of the available Skybridges (if all are in use you may not take this action) and place it on the side street.
Printed note: the three bullet points above are each marked with a small square symbol in the print. The symbols are not numbered on the sheet, so they are rendered here as a plain list in printed order.
Card Sharp
This variant is recommended if you want to ensure something closer to an even distribution of casino cards. It can be used with either the base game, the Skybridge, or the Building Boom expansions.
Sort the cards by casino color and shuffle them individually, leaving out the strip and End of Game card. Turn the decks face down. Deal three of each color into a facedown stack and set it aside. This is the seed deck.
Shuffle the remaining cards with the strip cards. Split the deck into three stacks and place the End of Game card on top of the larger of the three stacks. Shuffle the remaining cards in with the seed deck.
