Chicago in the mid-1800’s—a city-wide drainage crisis caused by its low elevation to nearby Lake Michigan has caused significant problems. The city council’s answer? Raise the buildings to make way for a new sewer system beneath the elevated streets.

In Raising Chicago, you’ll compete with other businesses to secure contracts for raising the city’s buildings. But be warned: don’t overextend yourself! You must complete each building project every turn. Running out of resources will severely damage your reputation and standing with the city. Strategically place your buildings, fulfill the city council’s demands, and complete the most projects in each ward to become the most renowned builder in Raising Chicago!

Raising Chicago is an economic city-building game, produced in partnership with Spielworxx in Germany.

This edition of Raising Chicago is a Limited Serialized Release.

Leo W. ★★★★★

We played this for the first time last night and the "raise the buildings" mechanic is genuinely clever—it makes every decision feel tense. The components are sturdy and the historical theme really comes through.

Emma ★★★☆☆

The concept is interesting, but the rulebook is a bit confusing to get through, and we spent the first game just figuring out the building-raising mechanics. It’s fun once you get the hang of it, though the setup feels a little long for what it is.
