Welcome to 10 Year City! 

10 Year City is an isometric, tile-based city-building puzzle game where every placement matters. Plan carefully, chain adjacency bonuses, and grow your city across 10 challenging years. 

Shop

Draft buildings each year from the shop selection. Need a better fit? Reroll the shop for a fee and adapt your strategy.

Building

Place your buildings strategically to trigger adjacency bonuses and maximize each stat gain.

There are six building types: Residential, Recreational, Educational, Civic, Industrial and Commercial, each with corresponding stats to attract new citizens

Turn-Based Gameplay

In 10 Year City, each turn represents a year of growth. Meet target thresholds to attract new citizens, but be sure you have enough housing to accommodate the rising population!

Save building blueprints to your inventory and deploy them in later years when the timing is right.

Merge

Build specific buildings adjacent to each other to merge into unique buildings that give your city additional special bonuses.
