Description
In The City, players compete to build their own thriving metropolis, collecting revenue and victory points along the way. With a unique blend of hand management and simultaneous action selection, each turn is a thrilling challenge. Players place cards face down, revealing their building plans all at once, and then pay for their constructions by discarding other cards. As the city grows, so do the opportunities for strategic play. Certain buildings boost income and victory points, while others rely on collecting specific symbols like cars or shopping carts. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 30 minutes, The City is an accessible and engaging experience for 2 to 5 players. Published in 2011 by renowned designer Thomas Lehmann, this base game offers a fun and fast-paced introduction to city building, with plenty of depth for repeat plays.
