A minute to teach, 5 minutes to play, except it is impossible to only play once - We have never played this less than 4 times back-to-back. An absolute keeper to delight both gamers and non-gamers.
Machi Koro 2 has the same feel as the rolling dice and collecting resources part of Catan. Only in Machi Koro's case it is collecting money. Purchased for my niece (11) for Christmas and she enjoys it. It's simple enough for kids her age and complex enough to keep adults engaged.
