City Board Game (1989) – Build Businesses and Attract Customers

City is a clever strategy board game where players compete to build thriving businesses in the heart of a bustling town. Shops, restaurants, hotels, and cinemas fill the streets, attracting customers of all types — from the wealthy elite to the everyday public. But beware, not every visitor brings good fortune — one is a crook who could cost you dearly. Balancing expansion with smart positioning, this game challenges players to make the biggest profit without letting rivals take the lead.

How to Play
Each player starts with four businesses and a handful of markers. Customers, represented by colourful playing pieces, move around the board according to dice rolls and must visit shops, restaurants, or other businesses along the way. When customers buy from your businesses, you score points on the scoreboard. Players can also expand or buy new businesses, but careful planning is essential — expanding too quickly could leave you vulnerable. The winner is the first player whose token reaches the green space on the scoreboard, making them the most successful business tycoon in town.

Why Rent
City is a fantastic choice for anyone who enjoys a mix of strategy, risk, and resource management. With its unique blend of tactical decision-making and light-hearted theme, it’s an engaging game for families and groups who like competition with a twist. Whether you’re planning a games night or looking to try a vintage classic from the 1980s, renting City is the perfect way to experience the excitement of building your own mini empire without hunting down an original copy.
