Welcome to Mad City, where every second counts and zoning is king!
Take on the role of a harried city planner, racing against time to build the world's most fabulous metropolis. Surely your creations will be the most magnificent; you may even feel moved to boast that your achievements are the finest of all...just don't get proved wrong! Become a specialist at downtown, industrial or residential districts to increase your efficiency, but you'll also need to remember the importance of speed to the modern urban lifestyle. Lay out your city the fastest and you'll have time to enjoy your idyllic ponds and parks. What are you waiting for? Clear away the red tape, roll up your sleeves, and build your own Mad City! One minute should be more than enough time — and if things go wrong, well, you can always try again...
Mad City is a real-time competitive tile-laying game in which players compete to build the most lucrative city. In rounds that last exactly one minute, players must lay their hand of nine tiles out in a 3x3 grid in order to build their city districts in the most beneficial way. Players must also be fast if they hope to beat their opponents for the right to score bonuses for their ponds and parks and for their zoning majorities. Using a unique scoring system, Mad City allows players to focus or diversify in their building styles. With quick and addictive game play, families and gamers alike will be eager to return to Mad City!
Mad City includes a solo variant for players stranded on deserted islands, allowing you to test your building prowess against The Grid!

In South Africa, 3-6 players will need to focus on mining as much as they do markets. The Poland-based expansion promises "Broad to Standard Gage Transitions" and includes two sets of rules: one for 3-4 players and another for 2 players. Steam: Map Expansion #4 also includes a new tile sheet for use with these game boards as well as additional tiles for Steam: Map Expansion #3.
• IDW Games has released one additional line of information about Kill Shakespeare: The Board Game, the Thomas Vande Ginste/Wolf Plancke design due out Q3 2014 that's based on the comic book series of the same name: "Designed to be a 'semi-cooperative'-style board game, players unite to battle against evil forces controlled by the game itself, while still jockeying to come out as the individual leader on the scoreboard." That's not much, but apparently it was enough for me to include it in this post. Admittedly this is a slow time of year for game news.../pic1867079.jpg)
• Spanish publisher nestorgames has yet another release, this time publisher Néstor Romeral Andrés' own SEVEN, a tile-placement game in which each of the two players has seven tetrahexes — polyhexes comprised of four hexagons — and they take turns placing these pieces on the playing area, trying to end up with more pieces on a higher level than the other guy. Man, perhaps the picture's misleading, but it looks like you could kill a man with those hexes. Super-chunky!
