Explanation and review:
My City
[note: this is NOT the roll and build version, but the full game]
I just got this game to play with my good friend thousands of miles away (due to the following note):
This can be played by people in other locations who also have the game using Zoom, as per this comment under a YouTube video (and mentioned in the first video below):
Another good point is that it plays well with physical copies across the world, using Skype or whatever, and calling the pieces bingo style!

Solo Playthrough with explanation:
DorfRomantik
Many reviews refer to this game as a cooperative Carcassonne style game. This is a chill game that you can’t “lose”. A very relaxing game that still can stimulate your brain but with simple rules. Easy to play (but Game Night video did have a bunch of times where they didn’t follow the rules). Might be seen as a solo game that can be played with others, but the social aspect can be extremely fun too. Can play a game in 15-20 minutes and you will want to play two or three games in a row (per Board Game Happy review video).
PLUS it is a Legacy Style game with boxes to open as you achieve various goals.

Review:
Catacombs Cubes with Monuments expansion
It’s like the Project L game taken to a new level (er, building level that is)
1-4 players for the base game. The expansion expands the player count to 6 as well as adds new tiles, dice and options.
