Cross Bronx Expressway is the third game in the Irregular Conflicts Series. It simulates the socio-economic processes of urban development, and the human costs that result, as a competitive city-builder with collective loss conditions. Players control one of three asymmetric factions working in the South Bronx between 1940 and 2000, pursuing their own goals while cooperating to keep the borough viable. Through a card driven sequence of play, they will work to solve the economic challenges facing the area by building infrastructure and organizations, forming coalitions, mitigating the multitude of issues facing the vulnerable population, and managing resources to stay out of debt. Cross Bronx Expressway offers an engaging way to learn about the recent history of American cities, as exemplified by Jane Jacobs' pivotal work The Death and Life of Great American Cities, simulated through the case study of the South Bronx. Players will experience the conflicting incentives and complex factors shaping urban life and together determine the fate of the Bronx.

During his 1980 Presidential campaign, California Governor Ronald Reagan took a tour of the South Bronx. As he walked the same streets that President Jimmy Carter had walked three years prior, what Reagan witnessed was a scene so devastating it caused him to remark that he had not "seen anything that looked like this since London after the blitz." Cross Bronx Expressway is a game about the social and economic processes that created this scene in the South Bronx and the impacts they had on the local population during the second half of the 20th Century.

These six decades, from 1940 to 2000, witnessed many major events that shook the nation and the world, including the Second World War, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, an international recession in the 1970s, and economic recovery and increased globalization during the 1980s and 1990s. Less well known, but no less impactful for the people involved, were events in the Bronx during the same period, which underwent rapid growth and demographic change in the 1940s and 1970s, suffered through the debt crises that affected the whole of New York in the 1960s and 1970s, and struggled through the 1980s towards a recovery at the end of the 1990s. This is a game about navigating all these events as a local stakeholder in the South Bronx.

Beginning in the 1940s, New York embarked upon infrastructure and urban renewal projects that would reshape the city, including the culturally rich working class neighborhoods of the South Bronx. The game takes its name from one particularly infamous infrastructure project, an expressway conceived of and championed by the city's "construction coordinator" Robert Moses, which from 1948 to 1972 gradually cut through the borough, disrupting neighborhoods and businesses alike. This, and other similar infrastructure projects, impacted the local fabric of existing communities in ways that are still having an effect to this day.

The South Bronx also underwent significant demographic, economic, and social changes during this period. The existing European immigrant population, which had watched World War II unfold from the Bronx, went on to use post-war financial incentives to leave for the suburbs. With the introduction of commercial air travel, a new wave of migrants arrived from Puerto Rico, while segregation in the South saw many African Americans moving to the area. This growing minority population led to redlining policies which restricted real estate investment. At the same time, roadway and infrastructure projects used eminent domain laws to seize property and move forward with large-scale redevelopment, often at the cost of those already living locally. Neglected housing and social services reached a boiling point in 1977, when a citywide blackout combined with looting and arson to devastate the Bronx.

Throughout this period, a wide cast of public figures would take interest in the Bronx, including Robert Mos…

Love the mystery boxes I ordered! Too bad I didn't get the Van Gogh Pikachu! Happy for the one who got it, though :) This my second time ordering the Vintage Mystery box and I loved both boxes! Pokejuex is doing a great job with the variety and quality of their items in their mystery boxes. Can't wait to buy my 3rd one!

(PRE-ORDER) POKEMON ME2.5 ASCENDED HEROES PREMIUM POSTER COLLECTION

Had a great experience buying from Poke Jeux. I submitted some cards using their buylist for store credit and the process was straightforward and easy. Once my cards arrived they were quickly converted to credit on my account. I had some issues choosing my shipping location and the staff were responsive and were able to assist me quickly. The order was shipped out right away after it was purchased and I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the cards once they arrived! Generally a very positive experience and would do business with them again without hesitation.

Spritzee (35) - ME03 Perfect Order

Overall, it's not a bad product, but it doesn't feel like the quality or thought is there for the price DS wants to charge. At the end of the day it's a simple binder in a cardboard box. The slipcase is good enough in a vacuum, but because it's just thick cardboard it's very likely to be damaged in transit, and will get dents and deformations from regular use if you aren't extremely careful. Which is difficult, by the way, because the (manufacturer recommended) pages and hard interior cover will stick out of the bottom of the binder when held upright and knock into the slipcase as you try to slide it back in. It's also generally not a smooth experience to use - there's too much friction when sliding the binder in and out of the slipcase, and the pages will get caught all the time when you try to flip through. There's no mechanism to hold pages in place like in the smaller sizes, so they will flop around when upright, and they also bend against the metal clasp beneath the rings when laid flat. I was also shocked to find there's no mechanism/button to open the rings, you just have to pull them apart by hand. This is the kind of functionality I can get from binders at my local dollar store, why is something so basic a problem to include in a product 20 times more expensive? I admit these criticisms might seem a little nitpicky, but this is a premium-priced product (remember, no pages included, so the price you pay is for a basic, empty binder in a cardboard box) without any sign of premium quality. Compare this with e.g. the Gamegenic Almanac released alongside MtG's Secrets of Strixhaven (pages included, by the way!) and the difference in quality is stark for not much difference in price. If it came with the pages or was 30-50% of the price this would be a 5 star review for an affordable option with some minor cut corners, but considering the MSRP DS decided on this ends up being an overpriced and mediocre pick in a market full of better options.
