## Description
Get ready to level up your Cities game with its first expansion, packed with fresh content! This gem introduces 11 new City Achievement tiles, each featuring two distinct, breathtaking cities from around the globe. Imagine: Budapest and Kecskemét in Hungary, Hamburg and Berlin in Germany, Paris and Nancy in France, and so on, spanning the Czech Republic, Netherlands, Russia, South Korea, Poland, China, Chile, Italy, and Japan. Each tile offers a glimpse into a new challenge!

But that's not all – there's also the "Theaters" mini-expansion, including 4 theater tokens. The mechanic is simple yet brilliant: when you're about to take a tile from the Feature tile row, you can opt to discard a Monument or Special feature tile you just claimed to take a Theater token from the supply instead. But remember, you can only take one theater token per game, so choose your moment wisely! Once you've secured your theater, simply place it on a city space in your city.

At the end of the game, these theaters offer bonus points! You'll score 1 point for each building located in the same row and/or column as your theater token that matches the theater's color. It's a fantastic way to add another strategic and visual layer to your board, encouraging more refined planning to maximize your scores. This expansion is perfect for those who already enjoy Cities and are looking for more variety and new ways to score.
