## Overview

Thames & Kosmos My City is a 2-4 player legacy board game designed by award-winning Reiner Knizia. Spanning 24 episodes, it offers a unique city-building experience where player decisions carry over, creating a personalized and evolving gameplay. With simple rules, 30-minute sessions, and a double-sided board for endless replayability, it’s perfect for families and strategy enthusiasts aged 10 and up.

## Description

My City is a unique, family-oriented legacy gaming experience that is played in relatively short episodes. The game consists of 24 different episodes beginning with the development of a city in its early preindustrial stages and progressing through industrialization. During each game, players customize their experience by adding elements to their own boards. Players’ choices and actions made during one session of gameplay carry over into the next session, creating a personalized gaming experience. For players who do not want to experience My City as a legacy game, a double-sided game board offers an alternate setup for repeatable play.

Review: Great game for four players - We love this game. The legacy portion is a lot of fun and makes us all think during each phase. Then when you place your additional stickers, where do you place them? After it is completed, there is the opposite side to play forever. What a great game and well though out design.
Review: good game to accomodate different level of gamers and ages - Pretty fun game. Concept is simple, easy to teach. Not a lot at stake so good compromise game cause can put as little or as much effort/thought into it as you want. So appeased the hardcore game fans and the more lackadaisical ones, too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game for four players
*by J***A on May 13, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good game to accomodate different level of gamers and ages

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game with learning throughout
*by S***S on January 22, 2022*

Like most legacy games, this has the obvious disadvantage of the learning process built into the game. Even if you get crafty and don't modify the playing pieces "permanently" as directed, you'll still have the KNOWLEDGE of what comes next the next time you play the game, if you try to play the legacy version a second time. So you might say, well, this is an expensive game that you only get to play 24 times! Um yeah, some people play their games more than 24 times. But it turns out that is pretty rare. And should you wan to play more, there is a perpetual version included, too, that you can return to again and again. But really, the legacy functionality is what puts this game over the time. Think you got it all figured out? Well, the foundation of what matters and how you play is going to change a little (or a lot) between each play of the game. So you gotta be on your toes, ready to learn and incorporate a little something new each time, and enjoy the learning as you go process. This has a few cool features: You don't need to learn the whole game at once. You just need to learn the rules for the basic game at first, and then you need to learn or unlearn one or two pieces of the rules each game thereafter. You never get bored with the game playing the same or the same player using the same strategy every time because it plays differently each time and the strategy that worked best the last time may not work best or even at all the next time. -- And what about the game play itself? It is smart. Like lots of other games from this designer, sometimes it feels so abstracted from the source (city building in this case) that it is a puzzle and optimization game and not just thematic. But not in a bad way. It is FUN and the theme works well, and players that don't care about the theme can treat it as a very smart abstract game if they want.
