We’re teaming up with Thought Hammer to give away four copies of the forthcoming game Manhattan, along with unique Godzilla figures for playing a variant of the game.
Here’s more about Manhattan:
This great Spiel des Jahres skyscraper building game is back! Add your parts to the growing Manhattan skyline! The higher, the better! May the tallest buildings win!
Building boom in Manhattan! But not only there! Sky-scrapers are springing up all around the world. Players also have the opportunity to build sky-scrapers in Sydney, Frankfurt, Hongkong, Sao Paulo, and Cairo. The question each turn is whether to increase the height of one of your own buildings, or to build onto someone else’s building, making it yours! At the end of every six turns, players score for having the tallest building, the most buildings per city, and for each building they own. After four rounds, the player with the most points is the winner!
This is a reprint of the original German version, but in English.
Want to know how to score some entries towards a prize? It’s easy! You’ll receive one entry into this drawing simply by commenting on this post - be sure to enter a valid email.

This looks like a great idea and all for more and more games!
September 11th, 2007 at 11:34 am
Manhattan is a quick and excellent game, so I encourage everyone to enter this contest!
September 11th, 2007 at 11:40 am
Sounds interesting. I may be willing to trade for a copy.
September 11th, 2007 at 11:43 am
This sounds like a fun, casual game that my family would enjoy. I look forward to it becoming available.
September 11th, 2007 at 11:47 am
This is one game that I’ve been wanting to try. I am anxious to pick up a copy (and I hope that I win one)
September 11th, 2007 at 11:54 am
Sounds great! I’m in.
September 11th, 2007 at 11:56 am
I like free
September 11th, 2007 at 11:57 am
Cool! Godzilla!
September 11th, 2007 at 11:57 am

This is a great game! Glad to see it being republished.
September 11th, 2007 at 12:00 pm

Sure looks intriguing. Here’s to hoping I win a copy to try the game out!
September 11th, 2007 at 12:02 pm
Fingers Crossed
September 11th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
WOOT! More Games!!!
September 11th, 2007 at 12:08 pm
Good game. The Godzilla figure should be included with the game.
I am glad it will be back in print.
September 11th, 2007 at 12:20 pm
Sounds like a fun game!!
September 11th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Cool Manhattan in English bring it on!!!
September 11th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
Consider me in!
September 11th, 2007 at 12:53 pm
That’s very cool. Good luck guys, kudos to THammer, and best wishes, Jonathon!
September 11th, 2007 at 12:54 pm

Thanks.
I’m in.

September 11th, 2007 at 1:01 pm
As the old song goes, I’ll take Manhattan! This game’s a classic. : )
September 11th, 2007 at 1:04 pm
Oooo, Godzilla…
Why not King Kong?
September 11th, 2007 at 1:06 pm
Come on lucky number 24!
September 11th, 2007 at 1:08 pm
I’d like to give it a try. Had the opportunity to try this game once and enjoyed it!
September 11th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
I’ve had Manhattan on my list of games to get for a while and I have been eagerly anticipating its re-release. From what I’ve heard, the Godzilla variant is something that must be tried so I like the idea of getting a figure for that purpose. A free copy would be great! Please send it over when I win :-).
September 11th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
Cool deal, sign me up.
September 11th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Awesome!
September 11th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
I’m game for a new game. Sounds fun.
September 11th, 2007 at 1:39 pm
I’ve heard great things about Manhattan, and I’ve been wanting a copy for quite some time.
September 11th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
Sounds goog to me.
September 11th, 2007 at 2:10 pm
I’ve been watching this game for a while now. A chance to get it for free makes it all that much more appealing.
September 11th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
I’ve been thinking about this game for awhile, count me in.
September 11th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Hello, I am interested in this game. I had it before but sold it a long time ago.Thanks
September 11th, 2007 at 3:18 pm
Hmm… so just by posting here doesn’t really do good for Jonathan… but sign me in!
I’ll drop by Quest for Comicon to leave a message.
September 11th, 2007 at 3:33 pm
Prime number! (Or maybe not by the time I submit.)
Either way, glad to hear this will be coming back.
September 11th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
I never win anything, but since it is for a good cause, I shall comment!
September 11th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
Thanks to ArsGeek and Thoughthammer and good luck to Jonathan.
September 11th, 2007 at 3:53 pm
GODZIRRA!!!!!!!!
September 11th, 2007 at 4:07 pm
This is an excellent choice for a reprint!
September 11th, 2007 at 4:19 pm
Thanks for the service!
Fingers crossed.
September 11th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
Wow, great giveaway, for a great cause. Best of luck to the the contestants and especially to the young man.
September 11th, 2007 at 4:56 pm
Excellent. Lets hope you pull #43.
September 11th, 2007 at 5:13 pm
Good luck!
September 11th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
This should be interesting. =)
September 11th, 2007 at 6:04 pm
If I keep entering enough of these, I’ve got to win one eventually, right?
September 11th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
Great game. Purchased a copy used a couple years back (for a good deal more than what it will sell for in this re-release DOH!) but don’t regret the purchase a bit :-).
September 11th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
Good to see this getting a reprint, especially with a Godzilla figure for the variant. This one’s a classic Eurogame.
September 11th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
Sounds like a fun game!
September 11th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
I’m in. Thanks.
September 11th, 2007 at 11:07 pm
Interesting looking game, I’d like to give it a try.
September 11th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
Very Nice Contest. Good luck!. . .
September 12th, 2007 at 7:56 am
Any game is made better with the addition of a plastic Godzilla! Well that and zombies…
September 12th, 2007 at 9:59 am
Can’t wait to see what the Godzilla figure looks like.
September 12th, 2007 at 10:02 am
great idea for a contest and great game!
September 12th, 2007 at 11:47 am
Interesting idea. After it is done, I hope you will provide a full report (preferably by email) on the success of this marketing strategy.
September 12th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
Hey Jonathon,
You are a super cool hero dude!
You’ll get to Comic Con - just another one of your superdeeds!
Woohoo!

Manhattan for a Mahattanite. I’ll put Comic Con on my calendar and look for Joanthan there in ‘08. Good luck!
September 12th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Sounds like an interesting game. Hope it’s not too abstract for my wife.
September 13th, 2007 at 12:23 am
