Tile Cities Reviews

This game is fun and chill

easy to learn, hard to master. give it a shot if you have half an hour to spare.

Another meh tilted to good because Meh isn't an option, but I enjoyed my two hours of play, but have little to no interest in playing any more of it. Like a lot of games I have gotten recently, the designers substituted the lack of an explanation for a learning curve. You really do have to try and learn thru play, and at first it is a total mystery. You place tiles given to you at random, many have no value, parks have some value in that they can give a green bonus to neighbors, but cannot create a value of its own, and tiles with a blue, orange or purple space on it can give a bonus and receive a bonus, but only to non-green spaces that haven't received the new color. That is to say, if a block touches a blue, you wont get any more blue bonus for blues touching it elsewhere. There are also trolley tracks (?) I think, some for of public transportation, and if you can create a line of them, and add a station, it can (I think) double bonuses when the line is between the new space and an old one. And that seems to be about everything. The game tells you in the lower left what types of colors the city has a desire for, and if that number gets too high, you lose. As times received are random, and often of awkward shapes, sometimes you fall victim of the randomness, but more often than not you can find some way to get what you need. The problem is, it gets boring after awhile. Quite often I just quit out because of this. You can save then, and I assume come back later, but they have so little flavor or personality, it seems pointless. It does have quite the active fan base though, so it clearly appeals to some people. For me though, a very tentative one thumb up. Got it in a good sale, would recommend the same for others...

This is relaxing and fun. I like that the binary is very small ; ) Would be good if there were some screen options as I have 5K screen. Yes it looks good but sometimes want to only use half the screen so forth.
