Thames & Kosmos has announced that My City is available to pre-order now through Barnes & Noble and will be launching in stores next month. The legacy tabletop game developed by award-winning game designer Reiner Knizia, My City was named one of three nominees for this year’s Spiel des Jahres Award.
The game consists of 24 different games, or episodes, beginning with the development of a city in its early preindustrial stages and progressing through industrialization. Each player has their own game board, which they permanently modify during each episode through the addition of stickers.

“The category of legacy games is hugely popular within the board game community. People love these types of games for the unique experiences they provide—no two games are the same,” says Andrew Quartin, CEO of Thames & Kosmos. “The brilliance and allure of My City is in its more accessible approach to this category of game. Through simple rules, a relatively short play time, and a pattern of increasing difficulty as the game progresses, My City fits perfectly in our mission to make fun, addictive games that the whole family can enjoy. Plus, it offers a secondary, repeatable play experience thanks to double-sided game boards. This isn’t a trait that many other legacy games share.”
My City is available to preorder now on Barnes and Noble’s website and will be available for purchase in-store at Barnes & Noble locations nationwide starting July 31, 2020, with distribution in specialty stores slated for October 2020. The suggested retail price is $34.95.
