In Cloud City, you compete against other architects to create the best city planning project to be chosen by the city council. Have your project chosen and built for the people of Cloud City to enjoy! Develop your city with buildings and build walkways to connect buildings to one another. The architect with the city plan that features the most and the longest walkways will win the game!
Cloud City sprung from a time when I was trying to design games using 3D components. Since Imhotep was released I had been experimenting with game ideas that used 3D space in meaningful ways. At the same time I was playing around with a tile-laying game about making horizontal and vertical connections. It struck me that I could really open up the design space if these connections could be made at multiple heights above the board. So I glued a bunch of wooden cubes together to make towers, cut out some cardboard bridges, and was really happy to find the game came together quite quickly!
