Point City (Standard Edition)

Thus far I have only played this game in solo mode. The solitaire game is pleasant and has a major mechanism which is very similar to the game Splendor, although with a different theme. It is easy to set up, the rules are simple and the play is entertaining. The one thing that keeps me from awarding it a rating of 5 is in the way that the AI chooses its cards, which seems to systematically exclude certain card placement choices. As a house rule, I corrected this with two D4 dice to choose role in column and that makes the game move smoothly. Still a strong recommend.

Point City was a hit with students! Quick turns, smart strategy, and city-building fun kept everyone hooked.

Highly recommend this game for anyone getting into the hobby and looking for an entry-level engine-building game. It’s easy to set up, teach, and learn. It’s a hit for my non-gaming group and I’m sure it’ll be like that for yours!

I've been using Point City as a starter game. It seems to have a problem with rules retention, but once the correction is shown, it's a quick game. I always throw it in with main games, when I go to game night, to bring more interest in it.

Really fun game takes point salad (a great game) to a new level !!! Love it
