Content Notes: Kickstarter High Rise: The Ultraplastic Edition Works Pledge Board Game by Formal Ferret Games. Includes core game, plastic buildings, Extra Tenants Expansion, Fancy Bits, and all unlocked stretch goals. Please note: unless otherwise stated paid add ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included.

High Rise is a strategic city-building game with a bit of corruption. You can get bonuses on your actions by gaining Corruption, but the game will periodically penalize the most corrupt players, and everyone loses VP for Corruption at the end of the game.

You’ll perform all your actions — like collecting resources, constructing buildings, and repaying favors — on a one-way track. Like other one-way track games, you can go as far as you’d like, but you’ll only get another turn when everyone else passes you. You gain 1 VP per floor for each building you construct. Tenants offer powerful actions that change each game. You can collect a tenant power by landing on its space or constructing a building on its card.

The round ends after everyone makes a lap around the one-way track. Players score bonus points for tallest buildings in each neighborhood and the game. You’ll play 2 rounds in the Standard Game (about 90-120 minutes for 3-4 players) and 3 rounds (about 2.5 hours) in the Full game. After the appropriate number of rounds, players lose points for Corruption, and the player with most VP wins.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Lily A. ★★★★★

Setup took about 20 minutes with the rulebook open, and the plastic player boards from the Ultraplastic Edition feel surprisingly sturdy in hand. The solo mode against the automated rival keeps the pressure on without bogging down turns, which is exactly what I wanted for weeknight plays.

George ★★★★★

The Kickstarter extras are what sold me—the upgraded plastic components in the Ultraplastic Edition feel satisfyingly hefty in hand, and setting up a 4-player game took me under ten minutes. I’ve already played three rounds solo and the 1-4 player flexibility means it’ll hit the table with my group

Alexander T. ★★★★★

The 3D city-building feels so satisfying as the towers physically grow upward, and the Ultraplastic components have a hefty, premium weight that makes setup feel like an event. We’ve played three times this week and the variable scoring keeps pulling us back for another round.
