Featured Game - Cities

Featured games are our way of teaching new games and highlighting something we think our players may enjoy or take note of. We'll explain from scratch how to play the game with a detailed description and demonstrate a few turns, then break into tables to actually play it. Each week it'll be something new, but will run the spectrum of different lengths, complexities, themes, and game mechanics. So if this week's game doesn't interest you, feel free to look again next time around!

Cities is a drafting game where players build cities. Each turn, you'll collect a tile, a set of houses, a scoring condition related to those houses, and other features, each with the intent of building out their cities. While each overall city has its own special conditions to score, you'll gain even more points for the cards you draft and the unique features added to a space.

Cities is a game for up to 4 players and should take about 30 to 45 minutes for experienced players to play. It has a weight of 1.91 on BoardGameGeek, making it light complexity compared to games typically played here.

If this is your first time with this group, you should see a link to our Discord group once you've signed up for this event. You may join any time before the event begins to get to know people, but once this event starts, we'll typically join the Lobby voice chat, then move to another voice chat once we've gotten started. Note that I, as the game teacher, will share my screen to show how the game works, but all other interaction will be voice only, no video, so no need to look presentable first. The game itself will be played using Board Game Arena - please create an account on this site beforehand.
