La Citte

I played this a while ago over at Iain’s. Interesting game, I’d play it again. We were all new to it and made a few tactical errors, but it was fun. I imagine this could get to be a real brain-burner when you’re all used to the game as there’s lots of tactical positioning involved to protect your towns whilst threatening others. There is an odd thing in the game where if you expand your city to five people and haven’t built a market (which allows you to have a population more than five), then you’re stuck and can’t do anything with that city. Playing it again I suppose you’d be aware of that and build an early market, but I can see a situation arising where our city can be forcibly reduced to five, losing your market in the process and effectively stopping that city’s growth. Could be a game-breaking tactic.
