A light review of Times Square
I really like this game because you have many ways to win and you only have so many cards and it is really fun.

Components:
game board
6 game figures(champagne charlie, saucy sue, 2 body guards, dancing deb, and handsome hal)
55 cards

Set-up:
Place saucy sue in the middle of the game board, than place 1 body guard 2 spaces away to one side, and than the other 2 spaces to the other side. Than put handsome hal and dancing deb in between one of the body guards and saucy sue. Put champagne charlie in the middle of the game board on the darker shaded area. Deal 8 cards and you are ready to play the game.

Gameplay:
Whoever has handsome hal on their side in the beginning starts the game. So with 1 of your 8 cards, you play it, and than do what it does. There is a dancing deb card that has a sewer on it. This means that you put her straight to the sewer instead of moving her a certain number of spaces. Some of the bodyguard cards have either 2 arrows pointing at eachother, 1, or 1+1. The 2 arrows pointing at eachother mean that you put the bodyguards both right next to saucy sue. The 1+1 means that you can either move 1 body guard 2 spaces, or both 1 space. you have 2 spaces that are yellow. Whenever you get someone in here, you can move champagne charlie 1 towards your side. When you get saucy sue in there, you automatically win the game. Also you have saucy sue cards. You can either play them one at a time to move her, or for every 2, you can move her whole enterage(sorry, don't know how to spell it). Handsome hal has a special power where that, when he is on your side, he can use his handsomeness to bring people straight to him without having to play a card. dancing deb also has a special power. She can play her cards to move other people instead of moving her(only when she is on your side of the board).

Game end:
The game either ends when, saucy sue gets to one of the yellow spots in your yellow area, when champagne charlie gets in your yellow area, or when you go through the whole pile of cards 2 times. In this case, the one with dancing deb on their side, wins. If she is in the middle, than it's handsome hal on their side that wins.

I really enjoy this becuase you can't do everything you want to do because you can only play one type of card at a time. Recommended for people that don't like thinking much but can still have fun. I also really enjoy the special abilities and the different cards that you can play.

I hope this review has helped you get an idea of what Times Square is like and I hope that you enjoyed it. Thanks.

Hey, Thomas, glad you're enjoying this great game!

A couple of quick rules clarifications for you:

When you reach the bottom of the deck for the second time, you win if you have Brilli-Lilli (the GREEN lady) on your side of the board, not die Rote Lola (the red lady, or as they call her in the American edition, Dancing Deb).

And the tiebreaker if Lilli is in the exact center is the position of Shampus-Charly (the green fellow that's been marking off points for having figures in your nightclub), not the yellow accordion player.

I just ordered this and it's in in the process of being shipped! Depending on how it goes, I might have a review up also!
