Happy City

Players build a small city by drafting and purchasing building cards from a shared market, aiming to assemble ten unique structures. Each round begins with income based on icons on owned buildings, then players may manipulate the market, reveal new buildings, buy a card or take a coin, and claim bonus buildings if requirements are met. The game ends when any player places a tenth card; final scoring multiplies a player’s citizen count by the total happiness (heart) symbols on their cards. The box offers a simpler family mode and an expert mode with additional interaction and strategic choices.
