Perfect Organism Jan 2021 2:27pm, 28 Jan 2021 710 posts	0 Perfect Organism Me and the wife are playing "My City" at the moment. It's a tile laying game where, unsurprisingly, you are building a city. It's also a legacy game consisting of 8 chapters, each consisting of three episodes (and three episodes forms about a one hour play session). After each chapter new elements are introduced (such as new types of building, and new rules). It's really great. Very easy to learn, but with a good amount of brain work involved to perform well. After two chapters we are tied on 6 points each!

Perfect Organism Jan 2021 12:58pm, 29 Jan 2021 711 posts	0 Perfect Organism You can play it again, but not as the legacy version. The board is double sided with the flip side being an “eternal” version. We haven’t tried that yet. I do enjoy a legacy game. There is a genuine excitement when it comes time to open a new envelope! Really enjoying it as I say. My only minor gripe is that I think it would be better with 3 or 4 players rather than 2 (but there’s only two of us so we have no choice!). That’s because in a two player game whoever wins the round scores two points while the loser scores 0. At higher player counts the second placed player scores 1 point also. I just worry that in a two player game there’s a higher possibility of a runaway player, which would be pretty rubbish for the second player. Writing this out though, there is every possibility that could happen at higher counts too. Overall, it’s a good game!
