Why It's On The List

• an unbelievably simple city-building game with a variety of tactical options and lightning fast play

Tips & Tricks:

• The value of various cards changes with the number of players in the game - most noticeably the red (restaurant) cards. Play accordingly!
• You don't have time to get distracted into building the "monster" play - you just need to build your landmarks.
• You don't have to build your landmarks in order - in fact, there is a viable strategy where you NEVER roll both dice, so you don't need to bother with your cheapest landmark until the end of the game.

Extras

• Machi Koro was one of my Best New (to Me!) Games of 2013.
