CityWright is still in development. Player count, playing time and price will be confirmed when the campaign launches — we would rather leave these blank than guess at them.
The game
Design Your Dream City
CityWright puts you in the chair of a city planner with a blank valley, a river, and a stubborn opinion about where the factories should go. Each turn you draw and place hex tiles, growing a city outward from its first street.
The whole game is illustrated the way an architect actually works — pen-and-ink linework washed with watercolour on warm paper. No plastic gloss, no neon. Tiles look like pages torn from a sketchbook, and the finished city looks like something you would frame.
Four district types compete for the same limited ground. Every hex you place makes some future placements better and others impossible — the city you end up with is an argument you had with yourself over twelve turns.
Drawn, not rendered
Every tile, card and board is original ink-and-watercolour illustration on a warm paper ground.
Hex-tile city map
The map is built during play. No two cities come out the same shape, so no opening ever repeats.
Four competing districts
Residential, Commercial, Park and Industrial all want the same ground for different reasons.
Wooden components
Chunky wooden trees, houses and cubes — the table reads at a glance from across the room.
The map
Four districts, endless possibilities
Every hex you lay belongs to one of four district types — and each one wants something different from the same piece of ground.
Commercial
Develop business districts — the shopfronts and offices that pay for everything else.
Park
Create green spaces — the lungs of the city, and the tiles your neighbours quietly envy.
Industrial
Establish factories — productive, necessary, and nobody wants one next door.
