About the game

What you do in a play session

Shake That City is a city-building game with a dash of controlled chaos! You and up to three friends become urban planners, using the 'Cube Shaker' to determine the construction patterns that will shape your city blocks. Each round, the active player shakes the cube to reveal a 3x3 pattern, choosing one color to place on their board. Other players pick different colors from the same pattern, then everyone places their tiles simultaneously. The twist? Each building type has its own scoring rules: roads need to connect to edges, factories love industrial neighbors, houses want to stay away from factory noise, and shops score higher near the city center (but only if they have road access!). With quick gameplay and a sprinkle of luck, Shake That City is perfect for fans of spatial puzzles and lighthearted competition.
