About this game
Cities puts you on an urban planning committee with real ambition: transform a neighborhood into parks, housing, offices and waterfront leisure spots that actually work together as a skyline. Each round you send workers to claim scoring cards, city tiles and building pieces before your rivals do, and where you slot each drafted piece into your own growing city grid determines whether your plan comes together or falls apart. Eight famous cities from Sydney to Buenos Aires lend real-world texture to the abstract puzzle underneath. It plays lean at 45 minutes, rewards spatial thinking over raw resource-hoarding, and scratches the same itch as a good city-builder without demanding a whole evening.
