"Tangram City", designed by Uwe Rosenberg, is a highly accessible strategy game where players act as urban planners. The goal is to create a balance between urbanization (black tiles) and nature (green tiles) on their city plateau. Points are scored on each round based on the largest rectangle created with these tiles, reflecting successful urban planning. Players must also strategically manage the distribution of green space to maximize their score, adding a layer of tactics and thinking to every decision.
The game consists of 5 regular innings and a 6th final round, which has slightly different rules. Each turn: 1. 4 cards are dealt regardless of the number of players. 2. Cards are played starting with the face up card in the middle. 3. Each player selects the corresponding city tile as a whole and places it on their city board following the placement rules. 4. Once everyone has placed the corresponding tile, the next card is played.
Players are allowed not to place tiles, but they cannot place them later. After all 4 cards in a turn have been played, each player takes one of their Fountain tiles and places it on their board. Then the players proceed to the intermediate count of the round. Each player determines the largest rectangle entirely built on his board. Players earn as many points as the rectangle contains boxes. Then, each player counts the number of squares in their city that are entirely built with black and green tiles and adjusts their scorer accordingly on the balance scale, before moving on to the next round.
After playing the 5 regular innings, only 3 cards remain in the deck. Reveal these cards in the middle of the table. Then, all players simultaneously place these last 3 city tiles on their city board as well as their last Fountain tile. Then, make a final count without forgetting the bonus points: 15 points for the player who has built the 7x7 grid completely. From 0 to 20 points depending on the balance of the city and nature of their city. The player with the highest score wins the game. In the event of a tie, players share the victory.
