Brick & Mortar
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 maximize 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!
2–4 players, 60–120 minutes

Check out what players had to say on BGG:
- "a fantastic economic game that has intuitive systems, is fairly straightforward to teach and learn, and has a lot of Splotter DNA in its meanness and interactivity."
- "Looks great, basic rules seem easy enough, but it's tough & tricky to play well! And that's positive in my book. If you can't stand fierce competition, stay away!"
- "One of the best games I've played all year. This is an economic game with the shtick of buying products for low, selling them for high. As a fan of economic splotter games like Food Chain Magnate and Indonesia, the scratches a new itch while actually remaining simple enough to be a good introduction to heavy econ games."
- "EVERYTHING you do is weighted against everyone else. It is 100% competition."
- "Probably the most intense experience I've had in board gaming yet."
