Thames & Kosmos My City: Manifest Your Destiny

As a family we have been playing this game for about a year. Easiest way to describe it is like Tetris but a board game. The playing board itself has 2 sides. One is what they call Eternal mode, the rules of the game stay the same and its played like a normal board game. The other side is a legacy game where the rules evolve with new pieces and objectives added over 24 different episodes.For the legacy game it really requires the same people to play as the points for winning each episode eventually add up to the final winner at the end. The game also is set up so that the winners of each episode get small handicaps that make it harder the win the next episode so should keep the scoring between all the players close right to the end.Some great twists and turns and changes to the rules. Definitely recommend for a family to play or a group of players who game regularly together.

Best board game ever! Has kept me and my 10 year old son engrossed for days. It is a long game as lots of different “chapters” which are broken down into 3 “episodes” each. We played it in stages - just did a few episodes or chapters in one sitting. It looks great - very high quality. And more than anything - it is so well thought out - it is clever and creative and keeps you interested. Also it is actually a game that truly can be played by just 2 players - many say they can be but are just no fun without more players. My City is brilliant even for just 2 players - nothing is lost at all by not having more play. But I can also see that it would be brilliant with more playing too. I am not a big fan of most board games to be honest - but my son is - and most of his favourites like Risk (groan) or Pandemic (triple groan) I find horrendously boring! But My City actually engaged me all the way through. Love it. The perfect board game. Should win tonnes of awards and every family or couple who enjoy board games should buy it! We both can’t wait to go back to the beginning and play it again. The clever concept means no two games would ever be the same. Just brilliant.

This is a game of two kinds. One side you have a legacy game which evolves over time. The other side is a game that can be played with a normal set of rules . You play it a bit like a Tetris game fitting all the pieces on your board. In the legacy side you go through episodes where the rules change and it gets harder. You play with the same board each time snd would be better to play with the sand people. The normal side play when ever you like with anyone else. Works well with 2-4 players.

If you are into your board games this is a good one, just make sure you get it in the right language, we got the German one to begin with

If you've never played a legacy game before (where the game/board(s) change permanently as you progress through the game), then I can highly recommend this as a great entry-point into the world of legacy games, the board is simple and the rules you need to learn are built up over a series of episodes (3 episodes within each chapter) and there are 8 chapters.We played with two players, although you could play up to 4 players. As the board and game changes within each chapter, you can stop/start after completing each chapter, there's no need to play the whole game end-to-end in one sitting.Loved it, and bought a bunch of other legacy games after having played this, so I would recommend this to anyone who's new to legacy-type games :)

Sure it is cheap priced, but it could easily had more players if they added more boards, and the ones that are supplied many the token pieces tore while being taken off the cardboard due to dull cutting blade. Not enough to ruin game, and easy fix with some glues, but still something worth noting.

Bought it for a small group of gaming friends in work to play I'm our 45min dinner break and it was a blast! Amazing, simple to grasp and great fun game!Don't be mislead by its simplicity though, there's enough challenge for even the most ardent gamers!
