Infinite City is a stand alone tile game where players become the leaders of corporations building an ever-sprawling city, maneuvering to control the largest districts while holding on to the most valuable buildings.

This game is a tile laying game along the lines of Carcassonne. The game comes with 120 large tiles, each featuring the beautiful artwork of Charles Urbach. The rules are very simple and the rulebook is only 4 pages of fairly well written instructions. There are also 15 small wooden cylinders for each player to claim their sections of the city.

Each turn, a player places a tile from their “hand” and claims it, while following the specific instructions on the tile. You build points by claiming at least three contiguous tiles. You have to be careful though, other players can steal these tiles from you or just kick you right off. If you get one of the exclusive Power Stations, you can hold on to a small section that the other players cant touch.

The game is over when one player either runs out of tiles, or all of the power stations have been played.

This game was easy to learn, fast to play (30 minutes to an hour), and fun. After playing our first game we immediately started a second game. We had a great time and I anticipate many future plays.
