Machi Koro – 5th Anniversary Edition

Roll dice, collect rent, build a city out of cheese shops and TV stations.

Every building you own is triggered by a dice number. Roll it and it pays out — sometimes even on the other player's turn. Build the right engine and money starts arriving constantly; build the wrong one and you're watching everybody else get rich.

The 5th Anniversary Edition folds in the best of the expansions and rebalances the base game. Thirty minutes, two to four players, and the rules take about ninety seconds.

Perfect for: families, gateway groups, and the very specific joy of collecting money while someone else takes their turn.
