Variants

I have developed two variants for Cities. Have fun with them!

Free variant

Adjusted rule: Players are not restricted to the city limits of the maximum width and height of the city. They can build their city in any form they like. It can even contain ‘holes’. Of course the city will still consist of 16 tiles in the end.

Be aware: This variant makes it more difficult to play Cities, because you have more opportunities in placing your tiles. The game can also last a little longer.

By the way: you can play this variant at every level of playing.

Just one more

Adjusted rule: After playing 16 tiles, 1 more extra tile is drawn. This extra tile however must be placed on top of one or more tiles already lying at the table. The tile can be placed on fields with a tourist on it, but all affected tourists have to be removed from their fields and put back in stock.

After placing the tile, every player can move or place a tourist according to the normal rules. Players are not obliged to place the extra tile. If they do not place the tile, they can still move or place a tourist.

By the way: you can play this variant at every level of playing.

With thanks to Nicoline who put me on the track of this variant.
