Machi Koro 2 by Pandasaurus Games Coming Soon

Pandasaurus announced the release of Machi Koro 2, a standalone sequel to Machi Koro - the smash-hit family-friendly dice game from Japan! Machi Koro 2 takes the original rules and adds new rules to deepen and vary gameplay so even veteran players will have new strategies to try!

What's New

The cards available in each game are randomized, making each game you play different! Buildings are separated into three decks (1-6, 7-12, and landmarks), but only five card types from each deck are revealed at a time. You can't bank on your favorite forest strategy anymore!

Players will complete three initial building rounds where they spend coins to choose the first buildings in their little towns. Landmarks also work different, as they each have unique effects and can be built in any order, but each one you build gets more expensive.

Pandasaurus will also be offering a pre-order promo for Machi Koro 2. Pre-orders placed through the Pandasaurus webstore or participating game stores. The promo pack will include 3 additional Landmarks: City Hall, Private Club, and Renovation Company!
