## Overview

My City by Thames & Kosmos is a 2-4 player legacy board game designed by Reiner Knizia that combines strategic city-building with evolving gameplay across 24 episodes. With quick 30-minute rounds and simple rules, it’s perfect for families and professionals seeking a smart, engaging game that grows with every play. Featuring a dual-sided board for endless replayability, My City offers a unique blend of legacy innovation and classic board game fun.

## Description

My City is a unique, family-oriented legacy gaming experience that is played in relatively short episodes. The game consists of 24 different episodes beginning with the development of a city in its early preindustrial stages and progressing through industrialization. During each game, players customize their experience by adding elements to their own boards. Players’ choices and actions made during one session of gameplay carry over into the next session, creating a personalized gaming experience. For players who do not want to experience My City as a legacy game, a double-sided game board offers an alternate setup for repeatable play.

Review: Easy to learn - fun game for 2-4 people - This legacy game has 18 rounds, but each one changes things slightly based on your previous performance. Quite fun (and frustrating!) to try and plan out your city and make adjustments as the cards are turned.
Review: Great game with learning throughout - Like most legacy games, this has the obvious disadvantage of the learning process built into the game. Even if you get crafty and don't modify the playing pieces "permanently" as directed, you'll still have the KNOWLEDGE of what comes next the next time you play the game, if you try to play the legacy version a second time. So you might say, well, this is an expensive game that you only get to play 24 times! Um yeah, some people play their games more than 24 times. But it turns out that is pretty rare. And should you wan to play more, there is a perpetual version included, too, that you can return to again and again. But really, the legacy functionality is what puts this game over the time. Think you got it all figured out? Well, the foundation of what matters and how you play is going to change a little (or a lot) between each play of the game. So you gotta be on your toes, ready to learn and incorporate a little something new each time, and enjoy the learning as you go process. This has a few cool features: You don't need to learn the whole game at once. You just need to learn the rules for the basic game at first, and then you need to learn or unlearn one or two pieces of the rules each game thereafter. You never get bored with the game playing the same or the same player using the same strategy every time because it plays differently each time and the strategy that worked best the last time may not work best or even at all the next time. -- And what about the game play itself? It is smart. Like lots of other games from this designer, sometimes it feels so abstracted from the source (city building in this case) that it is a puzzle and optimization game and not just thematic. But not in a bad way. It is FUN and the theme works well, and players that don't care about the theme can treat it as a very smart abstract game if they want.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a good game!
*by L***X on July 18, 2025*

This game is so fun to play with a few friends. It’s on the cheaper side of legacy games, which is great, and is a good mix of luck and strategy. Highly recommend for those who like board games.
