## Description
Minikin City is a strategic card game where every play has a dual purpose. Card colors and values give immediate rewards, while icons and effects only score at the end — and only if you've placed enough Minikins on them! Each round, reward cards at the center determine which color is most valuable. You'll need to decide whether to play a powerful card in the right color for the best reward, or activate an effect that helps you build your Minikin city. The trick is balancing plays to collect resources now while securing points later. In the end, only cards fully 'inhabited' by Minikins score points. Can you build the cutest and most strategic city?
