The goal of the game is to earn victory points (VP), but it's not as simple as building the most skyscrapers. Players score VP by constructing their skyscrapers in prestigious locations—those surrounded by a variety of businesses. To succeed, you’ll need to focus on both the quantity and the quality of your locations, competing with other players to secure the best spaces in New York City.

The player who has gained the most victory points at the end of the game is declared the winner.
