Point City (EN)

Turn a handful of resources into a city full of useful buildings in Point City. From the makers of Point Salad, this card-drafting game adds engine building and a shared market to the pleasure of spotting combinations.

Cards show resources on one side and buildings on the other. Take resources you need, then spend them on buildings that can produce future benefits and points. The market changes as cards are claimed, so a promising plan must work with what actually appears on your turn.

Useful buildings make later purchases easier, but investing only in production may leave you short of final points. Civic tokens give another scoring opportunity, rewarding particular building choices. Decide when to improve your engine and when to convert that advantage into a finished city.

Point City suits players who want strategic choices in a short, approachable session. The large variety of building cards helps each market develop differently, while the small personal tableau makes your progress easy to follow. Solo play provides another way to explore how efficiently you can transform resources into a rewarding city.
