Minikin City

About this board game

Minikin City is a strategic card game for 2–5 players that plays in about 30 minutes, released in 2026. Create a cute city by choosing cards whose colors, values, icons, and effects all matter.

Every card you play has a double meaning. Its color and value help determine your rewards during the current round, while its icons and effects can contribute points at the end of the game—but only if you fill the card with the required number of Minikins.

At the center of the play area, reward cards determine which color is best for the round. The cards played by everyone establish the round’s ranking, creating an ongoing decision between immediate benefits and long-term scoring plans.

• Play a high-value card in the best color to pursue the most powerful reward.
• Choose a card for an effect you want to use.
• Look for opportunities to gain Minikins and place them on your cards.
• Complete cards so their scoring effects activate at the end of the game.

Many card effects and center rewards provide Minikins, giving you ways to prepare cards for final scoring. The challenge is deciding when to compete for a strong reward and when to play for the effects that support your city.

In Minikin City, each play can support more than one goal. Manage colors and values from round to round, collect Minikins, and complete the cards that will bring your city to life when the game ends.
