**Tangram City** challenges players to design harmonious cities in an eastern kingdom under the queen’s directive. The game focuses on balancing urban development (black tiles) with natural spaces (green tiles) to create a thriving metropolis.
Players use double-sided tangram-inspired city tiles, strategically placing them to form large rectangles—a key factor in fortifying their city. Limited visibility of upcoming tiles requires careful planning to maximize scoring opportunities.
Points are awarded each round for the largest rectangle created, with final scoring rewarding balanced tile distribution between black and green spaces. The player with the highest score wins, earning recognition as the kingdom’s most skilled city planner.
Designed by Uwe Rosenberg, the game supports 1-5 players aged 10 and up, with an average playtime of 30 minutes. Its accessible yet strategic gameplay makes it suitable for family game nights or competitive sessions with friends.
Things to Keep in MindHowever, some players find the game's frequent and extensive scoring calculations disruptive to the flow, leading to gameplay that feels random or like busywork, with a lack of catch-up mechanics that can result in frustratingly unbalanced outcomes, particularly for children. Why You'll Like ItThe game is noted for its quick, easy-to-learn polyomino tile-laying gameplay, offering an enjoyable puzzle experience with some fresh elements.
