  • Cooperate to Win: Work with the player on your left to build one city center while simultaneously working with the player on your right to build a second city center. On each turn you select two tiles from your hand, reveal them, then work with your partners to place one of your selected tiles into each of your two cities.
  • Score: Your final score is the lower of the scores of the two cities you helped design, and the player with the highest final score wins the game. To win, you have to share your attention and your devotion equally Between Two Cities.
  • High Replayability: With 129 building tiles and 24 duplex tiles along with different landscape mats, you’ll create new and unique cities every time you play.
  • Beautifully Designed and Illustrated: Designed by Matthew O'Malley (The Search for Planet X) and Ben Rosset (First in Flight). Illustrated by Laura Bevon (Between Two Castles), Agnieszka Dabrowiecka (Castles of Mad King Ludwig), Ossi Hiekkala (Flamme Rouge), Beth Sobel (Wingspan).
  • For families, solo gamers, and game groups alike: This competitive drafting, tile-placement strategy game for 1-7 players has a 45-60 minute playing time with only a 3 minute setup time, meaning you can jump into a game quickly. Great game for couples, solo gamers, 2 players, family, large groups, and friends, making this a great evening game for after dinner! Includes specially designed Game Trayz organizer inserts to make game set up and storing easier.
  • Expansion Included: Includes the Capitals expansion from the original Between Two Cities. Great gift for families, teenagers, students, couples, and anyone just getting into the board game hobby.
  • Great Teaching Game: This game is an excellent way to teach strategy and planning while working together. Works wonderfully as a gateway game!
  • Solo Play: Features an Automa to play against in a 1-player game for a fun solitaire experience. The Automa simulates an opponent for you to compete against, while your game as a player remains the same. On the Automa’s turn, flip a card to see what action it takes.
  • Thematically Designed Mechanisms: Gain points from houses if you have a variety of businesses in your city, but lose points if you build your houses next to factories. Restaurants thrive when there is a variety and when they’re built next to office buildings.
