City-states - rules

Here we will introduce the rules of the game which are very simple but can be difficult at times. Especially after returning to the game after a long break, which is not surprising in the case of the state game. For example, you need to remember the rules so that the game is fair and the result is understandable to everyone.


All you need to start the game is a piece of paper and something to write, pen or pencil, 1 game for each participant.

How to play in your cities - instruction

The following are the rules of the classic game:

The game starts with preparing the table and defining the categories. We can print the finished model or prepare it ourselves. We just divide the map into columns of how many categories should be selected. Usually it will be a country, city, mountain, river, name or thing.
The next step is to draw a letter, which can be done in several ways. In the classic way, one participant mentally counts the letters of the alphabet and stops the countdown when it stops. The letter is valid for the entire round of the competition. Another option is to use a letter generator or e.g. a dice. The number of dots drawn is the number of a letter in the alphabet for this pattern to make sense you must use at least 5 cubes.

Now that we have the drawn letter, it's time to start the game, after selecting the letter the game will start automatically. Each player writes down the answers in a specific category on their cards. Time can be limited by a stopwatch or hourglass, or by the player himself. When the first person has typed the answer in all categories, he or she may say "stop" which will stop typing time. You can also play for an unlimited time.
Now it's time to check your answers, that is, after each round. The results are recorded in 3 steps and can have different values, usually 0, 10, 20.
- 0 points is awarded to the player who did not answer or his answer was incorrect
- 10 points are given to the player for a correct answer, but this is repeated to another player (e.g. 2 or more when country O responds to Oman)
- 20 points are awarded to the player who answers correctly and this point is unique.
We add up the points and save the result in a given round.


After completing a certain number of rounds, we add up the results, the winner is the player with the best result. The number of innings can be set before the game starts, the duration of the entire game, or continue playing until the player is willing to give up.
