Stonemaier Games Between Two Cities: Essential Edition

COOPERATE TO WIN: Work with the player on your left to build one city center while simultaneously working with the player on your right to build a second city center. On each turn you select two tiles from your hand, reveal them, then work with your partners to place one of your selected tiles into each of your two cities. SCORE: Your final score is the lower of the scores of the two cities you helped design, and the player with the highest final score wins the game. To win, you have to share your attention and your devotion equally Between Two Cities. EXPANSION INCLUDED: Includes the Capitals expansion from the original Between Two Cities. GREAT TEACHING GAME: This game is an excellent way to teach strategy and planning while working together. Works wonderfully as a gateway game! SOLO PLAY: Features an Automa to play against in a single player game for a fun solitaire experience. The Automa simulates an opponent for you to compete against, while your game as a player remains the same. On the Automa’s turn, flip a card to see what action it takes. BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED AND ILLUSTRATED: Designed by Matthew O'Malley (The Search for Planet X) and Ben Rosset (First in Flight). Illustrated by Laura Bevon (Between Two Castles), Agnieszka Dabrowiecka (Castles of Mad King Ludwig), Ossi Hiekkala (Flamme Rouge), Beth Sobel (Wingspan). QUICK TO START PLAYING: With very little set up time, you can jump into a game quickly, making it easy to get to the table frequently. Play with 1-7 players in about 30 minutes, making this a great evening game for after dinner! THEMATICALLY DESIGNED MECHANISMS: Gain points from houses if you have a variety of businesses in your city, but lose points if you build your houses next to factories. Restaurants thrive when there is a variety and when they’re built next to office buildings. EXCELLENT GIFT: Great gift for families, teenagers, students, couples, and anyone just getting into the board game hobby.
