Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Nested within a fantastical grove of giant trees lies a forgotten city where you find yourself. When you wake up, fairies help you on your path to remembrance by recollecting memory fragments, bringing about miracles, stopping the nightmares, and creating lasting imprints within your own memories. The Forgotten City is a 2-4 player strategic city-building game. There are three major ways to score points, and players may sequence their actions to optimize for a path from the very start. Through limiting the number and types of actions in certain situations, the game pushes players to focus sharply on optimal decision-making, yet encourages players to choose divergent strategies, creating a tight, brain-burning experience.
