My City: Roll & Build – Board Game Review
My City: Roll & Build is the 2022 follow up to 2020’s My City, both published by KOSMOS. My City: Roll & Build takes the essence of My City and reduces it down to a much smaller package, and one that feels much more replayable.
[NEWS] Food Chain Magnate Special Edition

My City
My City by Reiner Knizia and published by KOSMOS is a 2 – 4 player tile laying legacy game that takes place over 24 games, broken into 8 chapters. Each chapter of the game introduces a new mechanic or a new major rule change, and each of the games within that chapter slowly increase the complexity or add wrinkles for you to contend with. It’s a little intimidating at first, hearing that you’ll have to play this game 24 times to see it through to the end, but each game only lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, making it simple to plow through 3 games in a single sitting, if you have the stomach for ever-changing rule-sets.
Kites
Kites, designed by Kevin Hamano and published by Floodgate Games, is a real time cooperative card game about keeping your kites in the sky, or rather, sand in the timers. Honestly, if a game has a real-time component, I’m instantly down to give it a shot, I love the pressure and delight in the stress that comes from having a real-time aspect. Also, it’s a great way to ensure a game moves at a decent clip. As a gamer who tends to act first and think later, it’s great for me.
Beast – Board Game Reivew

The scene promises an epic encounter with a mystical beast, a foe that needs to be overcome in the depths of the forest.
