About the game
What you do in a play session
Tenby: Community arrives as the first official expansion for Tenby, flooding the game with new cards that reshape how you build and score your town. Beyond placing buildings, you’ll now interact with mayors granting bonuses, visitors offering temporary resources, locals requesting services, and long‑term projects that can become big wins. Each card type has its own way of being used, adding richer strategic decisions each round. The open action drafting stays intact: everyone sees the same pool of cards and picks in order, but now there are more options to match and create synergies. If you love optimizing city layouts, you’ll enjoy the new matching system where combining card types yields extra points. The expansion also preserves solo play, so you can enjoy all the new content alone. Playtime ranges from 15 to 60 minutes depending on player count (1‑5) and familiarity with the added rules. The weight doesn’t shift dramatically, though the learning curve nudges up a bit due to the extra interactions. Overall, Tenby: Community broadens Tenby’s core without overcomplicating, delivering more variety and replayability for fans of the base game or anyone seeking a light city‑building experience with plenty of card choices.
