About the game

What you do in a play session

If you enjoyed Point Salad, get ready for Point City! This gem from Flatout Games (the same folks behind the previous hit) brings over 150 unique building cards for you to create the city of your dreams – or at least a very stylish one! The concept is simple: you grab two adjacent cards from a dynamic grid and add them to your growing metropolis. But don't be fooled, the depth lies in resource management and building your point engine. You'll need to combine resource cards to construct buildings that give you bonuses and, perhaps, even civic structures that boost your score. It's the kind of game that's easy to pick up but challenges you every game, ensuring each city is a new urban adventure. Perfect for those who love to plan, collect, and watch their city grow before their eyes, all in a quick and fun package for the whole family. If you enjoy seeing a point engine come to life and like city-themed games, Point City is for you!
