About the game
A 6-card Eco mini-expansion for the 2019 English edition of Tom Lehmann's "The City" published by Gryphon Games. This mini-expansion features all new cards to build, including: Pedestrian Zone, Alternative Transportation, an Eco-Building, Green Energy Plant, and Ridesharing. Unlike the iconic city replacement cards, these cards are simply added to the game. These cards include new icons and scoring possibilities to add more variance to the game. This expansion came together with the 2019 Kickstarter edition of the game, but is not included in the standard retail edition. It is expected to be available for separate purchase, e.g. as a separate promo pack through the BoardGameGeek store.

Questions and answers
The City: Eco expansion supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for The City: Eco expansion is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The City: Eco expansion for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
The City: Eco expansion belongs to these categories: Card Game, City Building, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Hand Management and Simultaneous Action Selection. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of The City: Eco expansion are: Thomas Lehmann. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists The City: Eco expansion as an expansion for The City. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need The City to use it. Check that your edition of The City is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
