Minikin City

Minikin City: Build the Best Miniature City!

In Minikin City, you develop a miniature city populated by tiny inhabitants who breathe new life into discarded objects. The game is based on an original dual-purpose card mechanic: each round, the color and value of the card you play determine your position on a reward leaderboard, while that same card joins your city and can earn you points at the end of the game. The rewards you earn allow you to recruit Minikins, an essential resource for completing your City cards and triggering their scoring effects. It’s up to you to decide between immediate gain, the most profitable card, and the most effective combination to turn your city into a true point-scoring powerhouse!

How do you play Minikin City?

The game consists of eight rounds, each featuring a trump color that is known from the start. In each round, a new set of City cards is revealed: choose one and play it in front of you to expand your city. The round’s scoring first rewards the trump color, then the card’s value, and awards Minikins, points, or bonuses based on your position. Then place your Minikins on the empty spaces on your cards: a fully completed card activates its scoring effect. At the end of the eight rounds, a final ranking is based on the cards held in hand, before the final tally of rewards, activated effects, and symbol combinations.
