About the game
What you do in a play session
As your city expands, you'll see your income and reputation change. More income means more cash to invest in more valuable buildings, like an international airport or a high-rise office building. And reputation? Ah, that's the key to attracting more residents, which is what truly matters for victory. During the game, there are some secret goals that give a boost to your population, and the cool thing is that the variety of buildings changes with each game, ensuring you'll never play the same game twice. The second edition of the game also came with a neat upgrade: revamped artwork, larger tiles, a double-sided scoreboard, and GameTrayz organizers to keep everything in place. It's for those who enjoy thinking, planning, and watching their city prosper!
