A fast card game about growing your own city, where every card is both a building and the currency to pay for one. You play a card face down each round, reveal together, and chase compounding income and points. Points carry over, so a quick start snowballs, and first to fifty wins.
Who it's for
Players who enjoy quick engine-building and watching an efficient start snowball into a win.
Not for you if…
You dislike snowballing leads or want a longer, more interactive strategic experience.
Vibe's take
A brisk, snowballing engine-builder with simultaneous reveals, where an efficient early start compounds into a lead.
