My City @ 39:57
My City @ 44:02

After a long journey, you have finally arrived in a new land. You immediately start building and developing your city. Gold! Rich veins of gold have been discovered! And with the gold rush comes fierce competition. Before you know it, the time of industrialization is upon you. The first factories emerge, which leads to an enormous demand for resources. Mining becomes a lucrative source of income as tunnels are bored into the mountains. At long last, the railroad reaches your city, leading you to prosperity as you continue to develop valuable transportation and trading lines.

My City is a legacy game. This means that the game will change and evolve over time, as you play it. Each player has their own game board, which they will modify during each episode. Player choices and actions made during one episode carry over into the next, creating a personalized gaming experience. Three episodes form a chapter. Each chapter is supplied in a sealed envelope that will provide all of the rules and various materials you will need for that chapter. There are eight chapters in the game.

Over the course of 24 fascinating episodes, you will experience the rise and history of your city from its very beginning all the way to industrialization.

Also included is a version that can play again and again after you've finished the legacy game.

4 Double-sided Game Boards
96 Playing Pieces

Simple yet addicting

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Starts off simple and easy to grasp, while gradually building more mechanics and rules as you go through the legacy campaign. Some really fun additions, and was a blast with 2 players. Cannot wait for My Island to arrive.

Better Than Tetris.

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

This game is incredible. For something so simple, I can't get enough of it, and neither can my friends. I show the eternal game (stupid name) to everyone who comes over, and they all love it so much they want to play it at least twice. The base game, the story (I guess?), is also fantastic. Never gets too complex, but never too simple either.

Fantastic Intro to Legacy Games

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I was apprehensive of legacy games and if they would work well with the way my wife and I play games. My City seemed like a good place to start since it is a pretty simple Eurogame at heart. Turns out I was right. It's a very engrossing game (much more so than it would seem like on paper) and it's very fast paced both in each game you play and as you move through the legacy campaign. The speed by which the rules change and twist means that it never gets stale. We blew through the campaign in a week and my wife already wants to play again. This is our 2nd Knizia, but it definitely won't be our last!

Evolving Tetris and Quick

Average rating of 3 out of 5 stars

We are three games into this and it is a quick game and easy to knock out the 3 parts to a chapter in less than 2 hours. It is scoring based on links and what is built around. The game is a little light and there are new rules added each new chapter. The game evolves but I have not really had a desire to get back into it and none of the kids (11 & 13) have been clamboring for it. It is decent but a bit overrated and a tad disappointing.

One of my favorite new games!

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

When this showed up I was so surprised by the quality and colors of everything in the box. It's so nice that it also has a way to play beyond the legacy game. When we sat down to learn it we ended up just wanting to keep going through the first 2 chapters! Recommended it to all my friends right after playing!!

legacy tetrominoes

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

if you love tetromino games and want to dip your feet into the legacy pool, this game is for you. making everything fit from game to game with new rules and such added over the chapters makes for a great experience. we usually end up playing several games in a row. good fun!

Perfect for My Family.

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

My family and I are only 9 games in of 24 but we've enjoyed every game. This game appears simple at first glance but even the first game has some interesting strategy. Every game since then has added to the complexity without adding too much time to the game length. My kids are not big gamers but they've been able to play and be competitive at this one and they've been asking to play more. Dr. Knizia at his best. Definite Recommend.

Easy to learn and fun to play legacy game!

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

Most legacy games are for heavier games. While I personally enjoy those, my family is more into, well, family style games. My City is amazing if you’re looking for an easy to learn family weight legacy game. Easy to learn and incredibly fun and addicting. Having the “forever” game to play after the campaign adds a ton of value.

My City Nice Light Legacy

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

So, normally I don't go for these more abstracted tile laying games but with it being a legacy game I wanted to give it a try. It's a fun game, I like the speed of how fast you can play it and when you sit down to play it, you'll probably play it a few times. Good fun.
