How it plays
My City is a legacy tile-laying game for families. Each player has a city board and places building tiles shaped like Tetris pieces as cards are revealed.
The game is played as a campaign of 24 games, and the rules change as you go. Some changes are permanent: you'll put stickers on your boards. It's a gentle introduction to legacy games.
May not be for you if…
- Requires consistent players across sessions
- Early episodes are very simple
- The permanent stickers mean each copy is unique
- Not exciting for players who want immediate depth
