About this game

Build two cities simultaneously, each shared with a different neighbor, and your score is the lower of the two. Between Two Cities forces cooperative tile-drafting where you must keep both partnerships productive. Draft tiles each round and split them between your two cities, negotiating placement with both neighbors. The lowest-score-wins twist means neglecting either partner destroys your game. Plays up to seven simultaneously in under thirty minutes.
