| Short Description | In 1871 a fire started at the O'Leary Barn, swept through and destroyed the heart of the great city of Chicago. Can you save the windy city... or just watch it burn? This is a full game. |
| Long Description | This game is from the same publisher as The Great Fire of London 1666. This is a play test of a game in development. You can help us make the game better. The players are folk of wealth and standing who own property around Chicago. They can use the fire brigades to fight the fire, use demolitions to destroy blocks of housing to prevent the fire flowing or turn a blind eye and allow the fire to spread and damage rival’s property. Victory can belong to the player with the most property left but putting out fires can give you a boost. In addition each player will have several hidden objectives which might include helping another player or protecting parts of the city. A cutting edge fire alarm system which failed on the night of the fire is simulated as well as an attempt to get goods to ships on the river and away from the city. |
