New Orleans Big Band
Deciding to recreate the game from scratch myself, the toughest challenge was of course, the board.  Here you can see me laying out the squares that players travel during the game.  It's a big board, about 24" x 31".
Another close-up of the board in progress.  I used Google Map photos of New Orleans to build the squares, and more distinct pictures for the four corners of the board.

Overview

Players compete to assemble a jazz band in the French quarter. But this singer won't work with that drummer, or that trumpet player won't play in a banjo band, or this saxophonist jumps in value with a clarinet player. Try to assemble the best band. After round 8, players may start trading. The starting player is the best singer. If there's an argument, have a sing-off! Nominated for the SdJ in 1990. The German text on the cards makes this difficult to enjoy for non-German speakers.
