My BGG Comment

We first tried this at SPIEL 2024. I initially didn't buy it because I had already acquired Landmarks for a similar purpose. But then a week later I couldn't stop myself. It has been played a few times with various groups. It's always fun even when the scores are abysmal. Where do you place the yoga studio? With the Bank or the Nuclear Plant? I would describe it as freestyle suburbia... We did notice significant generational differences in thinking in this one btw :)

BGG 20 Coziest Tea Time Games (2024 Edition)
Build a city together. Just decide what goes where and hope that the team thinks the same as the mayor. Because if you don‘t chaos ensues. It is like free-style suburbia without all the math. Just imagine what fits together. Should the graffiti tunnel be next to the school or next to the prison? Should the fitness studio go next to the expensive restaurant or near the art gallery? Why it is cozy? * It is just a fun game of building up a city together * It can be taught quickly * It plays fast and has almost no setup or teardown. * And then you want to go again to see what buildings come up together this time * It does feel like there is combo-ing but like Dixit it is all in the associations you have with the buildings * Can probably play this with anyone.
