Since 2023, City of the Great Machine: On the Verge has captivated fans of action queue and area movement with its heavy complexity design.
How It Plays
Action Queue
You plan a sequence of actions in advance, then they play out in order — think ahead or get left behind.
Area Movement
You move your pieces across different regions on the board, trying to position yourself in the best spots.
Hidden Movement
One player moves secretly while others try to track them down — it's like a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Solo / Solitaire Game
You can play this one all by yourself — perfect for a quiet evening when you want a fun challenge on your own.
Team-Based Game
Players split into teams and work together to outplay the other side — teamwork makes the dream work!
