About the game
Big Cityz is a city trivia game for 2 to 6 players There are always four statements on the game board, and you have to place your drawn city cards on the board accordingly: In your opinion, which statement is the most accurate about the city? If you guess right, you earn points. But be careful not to risk too much because the other players can object at any time. And if you guessed wrong, the points will go to the player who put in their veto. The first player to reach 36 points wins!
