Between Two Cities

Players act as master city planners in the early 1800s, paired with neighbours to redesign urban centres. Each tile represents a city element—factories, shops, parks, landmarks—and players draft and place tiles to build two shared cities: one with the player on the left and one with the player on the right. On each turn a player selects two tiles from their hand, reveals them, and places one tile into each of the two cities before passing the remaining hand. At game end each city is scored for livability; a player’s final score is the lower of the two cities they helped design. Plays in 20–25 minutes for 3–7 players, with 2-player and solo variants.
