About the game

My Kind of Town is a fast-playing game for two mobsters attempting to control Chicago in the Capone era. Players vie for control of VP cards by playing influence cards on either their own or their opponent's side. Control is determined by majority influence of one of three kinds; the laying of influence cards determines both how much influence of each type the players have as well as which type(s) of influence can be used to control the VP card. Play consists of 12 influence turns followed by 4 resolution turns, leading to quick play but surprising depth.
