Read the full game description
Minikin City is a compact card game in which every play serves two purposes. Reward cards define the round’s most valuable color, and the cards committed to the trick determine who chooses rewards first. Those same cards then become Minikins placed beneath city cards, filling icon requirements and activating varied scoring effects. The result is a brisk contest of timing, color management, and building an efficient little city from the cards you have already spent.
