Blue Moon City is the follow-up to the two player card game, Blue Moon. In BMC, the players are competing to rebuild the city, by making "contributions" to buildings and finally by making "offerings" to the obelisk in the city center.

BMC, as the sequel to Blue Moon, uses the artwork from Blue Moon in its cards. The eight original peoples (created by eight different artists) from Blue Moon are used for the cards in BMC.

[As a sidenote, I personally this artwork in the game, but my parents don't like it at all. However, although my parents dislike all the artwork on the cards, they still love this game. So the artwork needn't be the deciding factor.]

The gameplay in BMC is simple but fun. There are numerous different card powers in the game (each people has two separate powers), so hand management in deciding how best to use one's cards is critical.

Overall, this game is worth a look. Lots of fun, plays in about an hour with four players.

I picked up Blue Moon City a few weeks ago. After having played the game with my friends, I definitely think it was a good purchase.

Unfortunately, my wife believes that the game looks evil. (If only the game had Elves and Hobbits or some other friendlier looking races instead of the new fantasy races that were pictured on the cards.)

For those who are interested in fantasy art, or at least don't mind looking at it, Blue Moon City is a great game. The game play is very unique to me. It is basically a building game, in my opinion, although I believe Scott from BGWS referred to it as a racing game. Players spend cards to get bonus movements or in construct buildings, which provide crystals, dragon scales, and more cards necessary to construct more buildings and eventually the crystal tower. The game probably could have had any theme, but I personally like the fantasy theme.
