Author: Klaus-Jürgen Wrede. Players: 2 - 4 Ages: 12 and up Length: 60 minutes Company: Rio Grande Games GAMES Magazine Top 100 – 2006 International Gamers Award Nominee – 2005 Another great game in the Carcassonne series, The City allows you to build just one of the many cities that dot the southern French countryside. Similar to the original, you play tiles and claim markets, streets, or residential areas to score points. Unique to this version, however, is the city wall. As the game progresses, you also build the wall to protect the city from invaders and place watchmen along the wall. As you might suspect, the watchmen score points at the end of the game.

Widely regarded as the best game in the Carcassonne series, the City marks the fifth game in the highly successful series. “I’ll freely admit that I am a big fan
