CITY OF LONDON BOARD GAME is an exciting contest of discovery, chance, suspense and fun for 2 – 4 players aged 10+. To win, you must either be the cleverest Sheriff to reach the Mansion House to become Lord Mayor of the City of London, or have achieved greater wisdom on your own or with other Sheriffs. First, use your resources, knowledge and skill to represent five City Wards, rising in status from Freeman to Sheriff. Then the challenge is on to become Lord Mayor, travelling a winding route through the City, watching out for hazards and other Sheriffs on the way – they try to stop you achieving your Mayoral ambition! Can you reach the Mansion House with the right credentials? Finally, the Lord Mayor travels at the double from Guildhall along the Lord Mayor’s Show procession route, and beyond, to pursue and deflect any opponents – or be defeated at the last moment by faster, cleverer, rivals!
