Overview
What ABG knows about this game
In City of Iron, 2-4 players compete to build up a small nation in a world of machines, magic, and money. Become the leader of one of four rival nations: the industrious humans, the toad engineers, the scholarly Cresarians, or the clever hogmen. Produce goods like machine parts and bottled demons to gain wealth, or research steam-age technology and recruit mercenaries to control the continent. If you want to establish new cities, you’ll build schooners or airships to reach faraway lands and flying islands. Your cities have limited capacity, so you’ll have to decide what to keep and what to demolish when building advanced structures. The future of a nation is in your hands. Build unbreakable foundations for an empire or disappear into the dusty pages of history. Build a civilization in a Steampunk setting Customize two decks of cards in a unique twist on deck-building Choose your path- build a powerful economy or conquer everything in sight Includes hundreds of lavishly-illustrated cards, an extra-large board, land boards, coin tokens, and more
