Reiner Knizia's MY CITY : Roll and Build!

Post by DrClick »

This time, you roll and build!
My City: Roll & Build is the second game from the My City series. It is a dice game in which over four chapters, each with three episodes, you create a unique city. The roll of the dice shows everyone which building to draw on their game pad, and from episode to episode, you have to face new challenges. First the land is developed and later gold is found. This brings bandits into your city who must be surrounded and taken into custody.

A single game takes 10–20 minutes and every chapter introduces new game mechanics (1: basics, 2: churches, 3: achievements, 4: bandits) in an accessible step-by-step way. Every turn, you roll three dice. One tells you which one of three building types you have to place and the other two combine into a polyomino that determines the shape of the building. You do this by connecting them at the grey semicircle that is printed on each side of every die. There is also a pair of compasses on one side of one die that makes you draw churches or fortresses in later game chapters.

You draw your buildings on a map with square tiles that is given on a sheet of paper for each level and try to cover it as densely as possible. On every map, there is a river that a building must not cross, stones that give negative points if they aren’t covered by a building at the end of the game, and trees that give positive points in the same way. Empty spaces also give negative points. You decide yourself when to end a game and calculate the score. You then move on to the next game in the campaign, which will introduce new mechanics for you to enjoy!

You can play through the campaign or pick your favorite individual episodes or chapters to play over and over again.

Of course, there's a tutorial available for you to learn it in no-time, but you can discover more and start your very own campaign by clicking the link below:

We would love to thank Moof for the amazing work done in developing the game. We absolutely need to send our thanks to the KOSMOS publishing team and to Reiner Knizia, who created this game, for the authorization.

And that's it for today release!
Roll your way through the country, and see you next week.
Until then, take care and play fair!

Cool implementation.

Would be good if you can turn off the clock on solo mode as it’s giving lots of time warnings (I think i chose turn based for solo)

And it quit my solo campaign half way through overnight due to the clock…

Agreed. I like it - nice and subtle and non-intrusive if you're not in on the joke - but it's certainly not teeny, still less only 3 pixels!
