It is the 1920's and your career as a general contractor is about to take off. You have just started your business in a rapidly expanding city. In Rolling Heights, players roll workers in the form of meeples. Standing meeples work hard that day and provide special actions and building materials, while face-down meeples provide nothing. You can always push your luck for better rolls, but you might lose valuable materials you need to contruct new buildings. Completing buildings gains you prestige, as well as new workers to help you construct even larger buildings, including skyscapers.
