Brick & Mortar Board Game

About the Game

Brick & Mortar is a competitive economic game of narrow margins, quirky stores, and strategic market manipulation.

Two to four players assume the role of store owners seeking to expand their reach into a variety of markets. Over multiple rounds, they try to maximise profits, build equity, and undercut the competition—all while dealing with a market that can change at the whim of their opponents.

Each round, you'll simultaneously determine the market, speculate on goods, sell what you can, invest in victory points, and manage your storefronts. Each new store in your building provides unique benefits and restrictions. In the end, the player with the greatest investment in both stores and points wins!
