This is a real time game in that it has a “timer” … which is the gimmick :) It is a small marble that rolls down the zig zag track – when it hits the bottom your turn is over:) While I DON’T like “timer” based games, I saw this game for $5 and got it just for the fun of it:) And you can play the whole game in about TEN MINUTES as well!
Interesting … he explains the rules clearly (they are simple) but then does not FOLLOW the rules himself! (smile). He was supposed to make a word that started with the letter N … so he used the word PEN. Umm… that starts with a P :)

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!
