遊戲的背景是在1666年倫敦大火之後
玩家扮演建築師要重建大火後的倫敦
要同時兼顧政治，商業，文化跟民生的需求,但資源不是源源不絕的
在途中必須運轉已重建的部分來獲取資源,但過度使用重建中的城市反而會影響之後的發展
為城市的將來埋下貧困的種子，如何在中間取得平衡是獲得聲望的重點
A brand new edition of a popular classic, London will appeal to the strategic thinker among board game fans. Tasked with rebuilding London in the decades following the great fire, players juggle building requirements, bank loans, and poverty as they strive to realize their vision for the city.
The game features a unique mechanism of playing cards to develop the city, then "running" the city by taking all the card actions simultaneously. Players have to repay all their loans before the game ends, but need to worry only about how much poverty they're creating relative to the other players.
