In “Minikin City”, we build small cities inhabited by Minikins, but simply adding more buildings is not enough to win. We also need to provide residents and balance the development of our city with competing for rewards. This card game by Simone Luciani and Matthieu Verdier, published in Polish by Portal Games as “Skrzatowice”, is designed for 2–5 players aged 10 and up, with a playing time of around 30 minutes.

While the inspiration is unmistakable, several elements have been redesigned to suit the duel-focused format. So—how well does it work? Let’s take a look.
