Communication, anticipation, and optimization will be your best allies to transform a small agglomeration into a prosperous metropolis. Compact and easy to transport, Megalopolis can be taken anywhere for dynamic games.
How to play the game Megalopolis?
Game Setup
Each game begins by setting the score objectives, which change with each session. The cards are shuffled and then dealt among the players. A common reserve is used to gradually build the city.
Gameplay outline
In turn, each player places a card in the play area to expand the city. The cards represent different types of districts and roads. The unique aspect: players must cooperate and discuss... without ever revealing their cards. Therefore, you'll need to interpret each other's intentions to optimize the overall construction.
Throughout the game, you'll aim to create large, homogeneous zones while limiting penalties related to roads.
Win/Loss Condition
The game ends when all cards have been played.
You then calculate your score based on objectives and penalties.
Your success depends on the score achieved: the higher it is, the more successful your city is considered.
Our Tips for Winning

-
Limit unnecessary routes
Roads often bring penalties. Reduce them to a strict minimum to preserve your final score.

Create consistent areas
Group the same types of districts together to form large zones. The larger they are, the more points they yield.
