Card City

Card City is a city builder played entirely using any standard deck of cards. Inspired by Islander and Cities: Skylines, Card City was built to scratch that same itch, allowing you to experience the joy of growing your own unique city, all with just a deck of cards!

These rules are designed to be simple but deep, and are easy for anyone to quickly pick up and play. A simple point system also allows you to track your high scores and challenge your friends. With there being more possible random shuffles then there are stars in the universe every single game is unique*

Bonus Rules

Here are some ways to mix up card city to add new challenges and new players to keep it fresh.

Use multiple decks of cards: You can add as many extra decks of cards as you have space, creating a sprawling metropolis.

Play with a friend: Like above use a second deck of cards, but with each player taking it in turns to build there own city nearby. You can't build where there is an existing card so watch out there other player doesn't block you! This can either be cooperative, with points being shared, or competitive, to compete to be the dominant city.

Add obstacles: Before starting place a couple objects around the play space (or just don't tidy up first). These obstacles are natural barriers your city has to build around and adapt to, making every city a unique solution to a puzzle.
