Machi Koro

My 5 almost 6 year old daughter caught on to this game pretty quickly. Its excellent for developing reading, math and interacting with other players. An excellent game for kids. The game is a lot of fun as well.

A very fun simple to play game for ages 8 and up. The money in this game is so satisfying to use, with an elegant feel compared to cheap cardboard in most board games. It plays pretty quick making it a good ice breaker for board game nights.

I bought Machi Koro to play with my 9 and 10 year old grandchildren. The game is easy to learn and there are multiple strategies to win. The only drawback is the amount of space that the card layout takes and the fact that it cannot easily be read from 4 angles around a rectangular table, but once you know what the cards are, it doesn't really matter. The cards are sturdy. We love board games; Machi Koro is a good addition to our collection because of the unique game play.

This game is quick to set up, easy to learn, fun, and fast to play. The premise of the game is very simple: Each player has cards face up in front of them with numbers on them. On their turn, each player rolls 1 or 2 dice. Any cards with the number rolled get activated, resulting in players receiving, losing, or stealing money. Then the player gets the opportunity to buy a card from the set of cards available to purchase, or one of four special cards required to win the game. The first player to buy all four special cards wins. If you play with the “variation” (I think it’s how the game is meant to be played and the default is an easy mode for your first session) where you shuffle the cards and only deal out a limited number of cards for the shop, and you put away the cards with the different card types separated (there’s only 3 types and they stay almost entirely separated during gameplay, so it’s not hard to do), the game takes less than a minute to set up and to clean up.

Machi Koro is a delightful blend of strategy and luck that keeps players engaged from start to finish. With its charming artwork and simple rules, it's easy to learn for all ages. The joy of building your own city and rolling the dice to see what unfolds creates moments of excitement and anticipation. Whether you're a casual gamer or a seasoned strategist, Machi Koro offers endless fun and replayability. From young to old I think there is something for everyone here.

Machi Koro is the kind of game where even when you're losing you're enjoying yourself. The artwork is cute and the cards are well-made (but be aware that the 5th anniversary card size is different from the original game's card size). Because the game play is very simple, young, casual, and experienced players can all enjoy simultaneously. Just roll the dice, get money from your buildings, buy new buildings. Because other players' rolls can affect your own buildings, inter-player contact is high, which makes for a much more interactive game. The expansion packs can be a good way to increase variety, but the base game is very enjoyable by itself.

My family was a bit hesitant to try this game at first, but they picked it up quickly once we started playing. While it looks a bit intimidating with all the cards laid out, it’s much less complicated than it seems. The gameplay flows smoothly, and it reminded me a bit of Dominion or even Settlers of Catan in some ways, which I really enjoyed. That said, I appear to be missing a single card. I can’t confirm if it was like that out of the box, but it hasn’t left the room where I unwrapped it, and we’ve only played once. I’d recommend counting the cards as soon as you open it to ensure the set is complete.

Great game! Family loves it!

Original game shipped from USA. Fun family game to play.

Such a fun card building game for school aged kids! It’s a mix of catan and dominion and fairly easy to pick up. The first few rounds are slow but once everyone’s cards build up it becomes a good engaging game. Some age appropriate strategy is likely to be developed over time when playing.

Great game!! Super fun!

very good condition. box is way bigger than the components though. very nice game.

Llegó antes de lo esperado y en perfecto estado, el juego es muy fácil de aprender y muy divertido...hay que crear estrategia pero tiene el componente de azar con los dados que puede cambiar todo lo que planteaste. El día que lo abrí jugamos 4 partidas 😀 y a todos les encantó! Una cosa adicional es que la caja no es muy grande, por lo que puedes transportar fácilmente el juego.
