Point City transforms Point Salad’s adjacent-card draft into a small engine-building city game. On a turn, take two orthogonally adjacent cards from a shared grid. Resource sides pay for buildings; once constructed, those buildings provide permanent production, bonuses, and points. Civic tokens reward particular patterns and multiply the value of a focused plan, while more than 150 distinct buildings keep the market and final skyline changing. The rules remain brisk, but deciding whether to collect flexible resources or claim a key building creates a satisfying arc in fifteen to thirty minutes.
