My City Roll and Write

Take your city to the top, expanding its neighborhoods until turning it into a great metropolis. My City Roll and Write is a completely independent version of the original title in which it is inspired, with a main mechanic of roll and write (roll dice and write). The game proposes a campaign of 12 different games, divided into 4 chapters of 3 sessions each. In addition to trying to win each game, try to win each chapter and the overall campaign. Designed by the prolific Reiner Knizia (author of the original game My City and many other great titles, such as Mille Fiori, Tigris and Euphrates, Explorers or Lord of the Rings), it can be enjoyed solo or in groups of up to 6 players, From 10 years.

Ready to design the perfect city? Each player receives a game sheet and a pencil. Throughout the game, players will carry out a series of rounds in which they will roll three dice and record results on the sheet. The blue dice show parts of the building. Right after throwing them, you have to join the small gray semicircles to show the shape of the building that the players will be able to build. The result obtained on the third die, white, will indicate the characteristics of the building (whether it is a residential, commercial or public construction).

Each player, according to his strategy, will draw on his sheet the shape obtained by the dice in the orientation he wishes (vertical, sideways, horizontal...) respecting the available spaces on his grid. The buildings must always be built adjacent to each other and of course they cannot be placed on the river, mountains or forests. Yes, they will be able to cover stones (which subtract points at the end of the game if they have not been covered) or loose trees (although it is better not to cover them, as they give extra points at the end). In the event that a player, on his turn, cannot or does not want to build, he must mark one of the circles on his sheet, which translates into a penalty at the end of the game. When all the players can no longer build, they will add the points of all the constructions that make up their city.

As the campaign progresses, new scenarios will appear that will add rules to the game. For example, at a certain point you can build wells, churches or forts, which will allow you to earn more points if you meet certain requirements, or you must defend yourself from evil bandits, who will try to steal them from you. In each game you will have to face new challenges!

My City Roll and Write is a game that, in a small box and with rules that are easy to understand and apply, packs many hours of fun. It is a very versatile title, since it can be enjoyed alone, in small group games or with up to 6 players, either in individual scenarios or in campaign mode. Can you build the most prosperous city by taking advantage of every dice roll?
