Overview

Point City is a fast, family‑friendly card game from AEG and Flatout Games that invites players to design and grow a lively metropolis. With 150 unique building cards and vivid artwork, you’ll draft, place, and manage resources to bring your city to life. The rules are approachable, making it a great choice for game nights, classrooms, or friendly gatherings, while the choices you face add a satisfying depth that rewards planning and experimentation.

Whether you’re new to tabletop gaming or a seasoned strategist, Point City offers a balance of familiar drafting concepts and fresh engine-building twists. The game emphasizes interaction through a dynamic city grid, where your decisions ripple across scoring opportunities and future turns. It’s easy to pick up, but the paths to higher scores unfold as you explore different card combinations and civic structures.

How to Play

Point City keeps the flow quick and intuitive:

• Drafting: Open drafting lets you see and select two adjacent cards from a bustling city grid, setting the stage for your next build.
• Building: Use resource cards and bonuses to construct building cards that require specific combinations.
• Market: Refill the market to keep new options flowing and your city evolving each round.

Core mechanics include Open Drafting, Set Collection, and support for Solo/Solitaire play, giving you flexible ways to enjoy Point City alone or with others. The 3‑step loop — draft, build, refill — repeats as you chase the best civic layouts and point‑multipliers offered by special structures.
