Build Your Dream Neighborhood

City Hall has handed you the keys to one of its prime districts. Your mission? To transform it into the city's coolest zone. With a plethora of components at your disposal, you'll create new homes, bustling office buildings, serene parks, and refreshing water features. But it's not just about building – it's about building smart. The placement of your city tiles will determine your success, as you score points based on how attractively and efficiently you arrange your neighborhood.

Gameplay That Captivates

Designed by the renowned duo Steve Finn and Phil Walker Harding, and brought to life with illustrations by Jorge Tabanera, Cities is a city-building game that lets you draft the best projects and arrange them in your playing area. Suitable for 2 to 4 players, ages 10 and up, each game lasts about 40 minutes – perfect for family game nights or casual gatherings with friends.

Dynamic and Strategic Play

Cities features action and resource drafting mechanisms that add depth and excitement to every round. Over the course of eight rounds (or four rounds for a two-player game), you'll use your workers to collect scoring cards, city tiles, feature tiles, and building pieces. Create structures up to four stories high, and strategically place park and water spaces to enhance your city's appeal.

A Global Journey

Travel to iconic cities like Sydney, Venice, New York, and more, as you draw inspiration from their unique architectural styles. Each round is an opportunity to build something magnificent, aiming to fulfill achievements that earn you extra points.
