Infinite City
Power Station next to Post office
The economy is booming and the town grows continually. Players want to take over the town and to control the biggest areas and most important buildings. The game features 120 town tiles with different buildings and an instruction, e.g. “swap your cards with another player” or “card instructions to not affect this card nor all cards adjacent to it nor any markers on it”. All tiles are stacked face down, each player draws five tiles and five tiles are laid out face down in the shape of a cross to form the starting display. In turn you place one tile from your hand edge on edge to at least one other tile already in place, place one of your markers on it and follow the instructions on the card you placed. If due to card instruction you need to mark a face-down card you turn it over and follow those instructions, too. If you must mark a face-up tile you not follow its instructions.
If someone is out of markers, all still having markers have one more turn. If the fifth power station is placed, the game ends immediately. You score contiguous adjacent tiles under your control, that is, with one of your markers on it, but only if there are at least three tiles in the group. Cards with several markers score for all those players. Then add all points given by the cards themselves and finally count your tiles with a silver border – if you control the majority of those you score their number as a bonus.
Infinite City is a simple placement game with a challenging mix of luck and tactics. Your markers are limited, possibilities are numerous and the effect of some tiles can be optimized by the order you place them.
