My City Roll and Build came back for another week to get to the half way point. We were introduced to a new mechanism that changed up how the game was played. And we ran into a surprising situation at the end of game 6. Join me as I play this board game over on Malts and Meeples YouTube. And catch up on last weeks start of the game here.

My City Roll and Build

Let’s talk about that abrupt end to the game. Was that a good thing or not? Because I think for a lot of people it wouldn’t be. For myself, I didn’t mind it too much for one main reasons.

The reason I didn’t mind it is that the game is so fast. When you sit down and play My City Roll and Build, especially solo, it takes about 10-15 minutes per game. And some of that time is learning the new rules. You play extremely fast. I probably lost another 5 to 10 minute of game time because the game ended quickly.

I think My City Roll and Build would not be an issue to finish it an evening. If I were to start playing at 7 PM, I would be done by 10 PM or at most 10:30. And everyone plays at once, so I think multiplayer, you’d maybe add an hour of time overall. The game is really fast, it is very light, but it matches and does what the board game does as well. So to me, that’s interesting to see what it does and if I can get lucky.

And before you say, I got really unlucky and that makes the game poor. Or that the board game would be better. The exact same thing can happen in the board game. You build out and you can’t skip buildings. So it really does match the board game that way. And maybe that randomness wouldn’t be for you. But for me, like I said, the game is so fast that I don’t mind it.

Upcoming Streams

So what’s coming up this week. Wednesday, as I said in the stream, unlikely that I’ll be playing Isofarian Guard. That is the next campaign I’ll be diving into. But I need to learn the game still. So it’ll be playing a smaller game, or I have a box of Pokemon cards that I might be unboxing just to see what I get. I’ll announce that stream closer to when it happens. Either way the stream is at 8 PM Central time.

And next Monday is going to be more My City Roll and Build. I have two more chapters to go, so let’s see if I can build upon what seems to be some average scores and see if I can push my total score higher. Will it work or will I have an abrupt ending again. Monday streams start around 8:30 PM Central time.

And, again, if you want to know when I go live or a new video goes up (it’s basically always live), please consider subscribing. You can do that here. And click that notification bell on the channel and you’ll always know when I go live.
