Urban Insanity

Great new game. Fun for all. Quick play.

Played a demo of this and loved it.

Base game is very similar to Carcassonne. The variant appears to be in the use of a deck that randomly allows extra tiles to be taken, laid, or swapped. My only criticism is that I would like to see more variation to these. Many say “draw a tile, play a tile”. Tomorrow I will be picking up a few expansions, so I can say that I do like the game. I am looking forward to the variation. Hoping that the expansions are significantly different from the Carcassonne expansions. I do like the city theme better than the medieval theme, but that’s just icing.

Purchased a couple of years ago at DragonCon with some expansions.

Base game is very similar lines to Carcassonne as commented by most other people, but there are a lot of nice extras. The artwork is super clear on both tiles and cards, expansions are fun and add a much needed amount of player interaction and dynamics on the board. From my experience so far, plays best with 1-3 expansions as some of the take that mechanics are a little harsh if you dilute the card pool for undoing them too much. If you just want some chaotic fun though, six players with six expansions will certainly deliver!

Huge amount of variety, very simple to teach, very clean design and artwork. Not hugely deep but plays extremely well at the depth it's aiming for. Definitely a keeper.
