City of Guilds (2009)

About this game

The Great City of Andalanshar, capital of the nation of Andal, ruled by the great potentate and council of Andals, but controlled by the 6 great guilds. Now the great potentate has died and the council members are all vying to gain control of the city. To do this they must gain the support of the people and the guilds... City of Guilds is a board game for 1-4 players, where the players try to gain control of the city by gaining influence in the various districts of the city. They do this by assuming the roles of 1 of the 6 great guilds and by playing action cards. All the necessary files are available in the files section below.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
