The Ultimate City-Building Video Game Lands on Your Tabletop!
In this board game version of the best-selling PC game of the same name, players work together to plan, build, and manage a city. The key to a successfully developed city is a happy population; as players decide how and where to build, they must consider a variety of factors such as the environment, crime, traffic flow, education, and financial resources.
Highlights of Cities: Skylines - The Board Game
About the game
The successful PC and console game "Cities: Skylines" is the basis for the co-operative board game of the same name. Unlike the PC version, the board game is played as a team. Together, you want to build a new, thriving city where people are happy. To do that, you must complete a number of milestones. The quality and skill of your cooperative efforts will be reflected in the happiness of your residents.
Board Game Set Up
The modular board games give players the ability to play scripted introductory scenarios, where the placement of the game board pieces are predetermined, or to assemble the board game pieces in any way they want. Not only does this variety give the game great replayability, but it's fun to imagine an ideal landscape (or one that seems preposterous).
Game Attributes
Cities: Skylines requires a lot of teamwork as players take on the role of urban planners, but there are still elements of individual strategy and luck. Even a failing city can bounce back with a lucky construction card, or a successful city can get tested by drawing a series of unlucky construction cards.
An easy overview of how Cities: Skylines - The Board Game is played
Lay a construction card
The game starts off easy: You have some money and an open area to build structures and develop the city of your dreams. The sky's the limit! .
Exchange a construction card
If you feel like your cards are not giving you the structures you want, you can pay to exchange them. Although you have limited money, it may be worth the investment.
End a Milestone
Once you've built enough buildings, you can end a milestone. This means your city gets evaluated for how happy your citizens are. Finishing the last milestone ends the game.
