Being a mayor is hard. On the one hand, ULTIMATE POWER! On the other, there are those pesky election promises to grow your little township into the largest city in the region. Considering your holdings comprise a single wheat field and a bakery, you’ve got your work cut out for you.

Machi Koro is a streamlined award-winning city-building card game from designer Masao Suganuma. In it, you’ll attempt to take your tiny township from a wheat field and a bakery to a thriving metropolis complete with four major landmarks – a train station, shopping mall, amusement park and radio tower.
