Overview

In Between Two Cities, you are an architect tasked with designing two cities simultaneously. Each round, you'll draft tiles with your neighbors, carefully selecting the best pieces to contribute to each of your city projects.

The challenge lies in the fact that you share responsibility for each city with a different partner. At the end of the game, your score is the lower of the two cities you helped build, meaning successful negotiation and collaboration with both partners is crucial to your overall success. Every tile type scores differently, from factories and shops to parks and houses, ensuring dynamic and strategic city planning.
