City Tycoon - a tile laying multiplayer-solo experience?

The Dog Ate My Meeple Podcast

Hello fellow gamers !

In the eight episode of our second season I’m having a closer look at a game which I believe very few people know but may be something worth your attention. I’m talking about City Tycoon from Rebel, your friendly Polish publisher (no association with the podcast whatsoever :D ).
In this tile-drafting and tile-laying city builder you’ll get a chance to build your own districts, supply them with resources and make sure that the citizens are happy, as it is their happiness that in the end helps you achieve success and win the game. With tile-drafting and 100+ tiles to choose from no two games are the same, with resource purchasing and transportation fees the player interaction can make you some money if you’re smart enough.
If no interaction is your kind of thing, fear no more as that’s a fully valid way to play too for those who prefer ‘you play your own and I’ll do my best’ or those who min/max all the games they play! Whether you want to build a nice looking city, make most money or simply put some tiles and play with cubes, the game has got you covered. Have a listen to find out if that’s your cup of tea or perhaps a title you should avoid!

Either way, I’ll be happy to be your companion for the twenty-odd minutes and I hope you’ll find it useful.
As always, enjoy and take care!
