About the game
Machi Koro 2 refreshes the beloved city-building dice game with a new budget system and a revamped card pool. Players draft starting establishments, then race to build the coolest landmarks and businesses in town by rolling dice and collecting income. Cards pulled from three visible decks create fresh combinations every game, so no two sessions play the same. It's light, fast, and full of the quirky charm that made the original Machi Koro a hit.
Hobbli's Notes
Machi Koro 2 is a great gateway game that keeps the addictive dice-rolling economy of the original while smoothing out some of its rough edges. Hobbli finds the new zoning budget adds a welcome layer of choice without slowing the pace. It's an easy, breezy pick for game night regulars and newcomers alike.
