The story
|
In Cities you are the architect of a city of the world. You try to build a city that is most attractive for tourists. You position attractions close together. You build parks as big as possible and place terraces close to the water. You guide tourists to their favourite spots, because only through them you can earn your points.

The dilemma
But... you never know exactly which tile will be drawn next. Will you wait another round for the perfect tile? Will you adjust your planning? Or have you got a briljant idea and can you position the tile in a way that it brings points for more than tourist?
|

|
Every player builds his own city and makes his own choices. "All" you have to do is making better choices than your opponents!

The game rules
Cities is not a difficult game. The game rules have been structured in such a way that most people will have no difficulty in playing the game. For people not used to reading game rules a quick start has been included. Moreover there are three different levels of playing. The easiest level can be played with children of about eight years old. The most difficult level is a real brainteaser and only recommended for the die hard puzzler and planner.
