Challenging card game with relatively simple rules.

Your hand cards are both buildings and currency. Each round you build 1 building (and sometimes 2 buildings) from your hand and pay the costs in other cards from your hand. Each building generates income in the form of cards and/or points. Slowly but surely, a city will emerge for you.

Many buildings influence each other or are a prerequisite for building other buildings. This creates interesting options and chain reactions. Whoever has scored the most points with their buildings at the end of the game is the winner.

Metropolis only takes 20 minutes and is therefore ideal for a short break.
