Builder's High is a game that builds buildings by paying budget cards. However, no waste is allowed. Build by paying exactly the cost of a well-combined budget card. The purpose of this game is to achieve one of the multiple presented city planning cards. What you can do on your turn is simple: take a budget card or a construction card, or construct a building. You'll need cunning to figure out what to do, manage your money, read your opponent's plans, and get cards ahead of time. Also, even if the city plan is achieved, there is no peace of mind. Eventually you have to use up all the cards in your hand. Lean management makes the difference between victory and defeat.

Building cards have effects, which can be advantageous or disadvantageous depending on the situation. Let's create a bustling city by managing your hand and card effects well!

Joseph O. ★★★★★

The “pay exactly” rule sounds punishing on paper, but the tension it creates each turn is pure fun—my group was shouting at the table by round three. The import packaging is sturdy and the English rules link made setup a breeze, so no translation headaches.

Amelia ★★★★★

The "pay exactly the cost" mechanic makes every round a tight puzzle, and the budget cards force you to think three steps ahead. I’ve played three times already and each game feels completely different.

Scarlett ★★★☆☆

The English rules being downloadable is helpful, but the "pay exactly the cost" mechanic feels more like a frustrating math puzzle than fun strategy. It works, just didn't grab me like I hoped.
