What makes New York the greatest city in the world? Power. Money. Influence. Can you make an earth changing mark on Gotham? Use money like a bludgeon and influence like a scalpel? Can you wield one of the most awesome powers known to man — the power of the tollbooth? Learn to broker power like the player who invented the game: Robert Moses. Upgrade and build to re-create the empire of bridges, tunnels, highways, beaches, massive projects and World’s Fairs that define 20th century New York City. Can you mimic Moses’ accomplishments, or will you achieve what even he could not? Authority is an easy-to-pickup, idle toll booth simulator game about the rich history of American infrastructure and the banality of power. Official entry - 'The Power Broker' Game Challenge
