Machi Koro

Machi Koro is a delightful little card game that has become a staple at our game nights. The premise is simple: you are the mayor of a growing city and you need to build your city up by collecting income from developments and building public works. The gameplay is fast-paced and engaging, and the element of chance from the dice rolls keeps things interesting. I really enjoy the strategic depth that comes from choosing which buildings to invest in and trying to predict what your opponents will roll.

The game is easy to learn and teach, making it perfect for a casual game night with friends or family. It also has a decent amount of replayability, as you can try different strategies each time you play. I especially love the charming artwork and the fun theme of city building. I have found that the game is just as enjoyable with two players as it is with four, and it's a great way to fill a little bit of time between other games or activities.

I have tried the expansion pack, and while it adds a lot to the game, it does make it last a bit longer. I would recommend the base game for those who are new to the game, or for those who want a quick and fun experience. If you're looking for a more complex and challenging game, then the expansion pack is a great way to add to the experience.

Overall, Machi Koro is a fun, engaging, and easy-to-learn card game that is perfect for a casual game night with friends or family. I highly recommend it!
