Tiny Towns
A 4x4 town, five resources and a rival who keeps naming the wrong one.
What it is
A small puzzle for anyone who likes filling a grid. Each round one player names a resource, and everyone must place that cube in their own 4x4 town. When your cubes match a shape on a building card, you swap them for that building. Empty squares cost a point each at the end, so space runs out fast.
What we love
- Everyone acts every round, so there is little waiting
- A different mix of buildings each game changes the puzzle
- Plays up to six, with a solo mode as well
Honest trade-offs
- Players can spend ages picking the cube that hurts others most, which slows things down
- One badly placed building is hard to recover from
- Scoring changes with each building mix and is the fiddly part
