Tiny Towns by Peter McPherson is just plain fun. TETRIS quickly comes to mind when you start but a few turns into the game you realize you’ve got a tiger by the tail.
Players plan their towns around a randomized deck of building footprints. Each footprint requires an exact pattern be built using specific resources in a set pattern. The awesome complication is as players are developing their town on their won tableaux their finished building are getting in the way.
Players develop their town buy occupying every space on their player tableaux. The challenge is to maximize points through synchronizing how different buildings work together.
Tiny Towns is a great game that offers a fun experience to all levels of experienced gamers. It’s the game you break out with the kids or with your friends when you just want to hang out and play a game.
