118. Shake that City & Design Elements that Engender Input Randomness
Shake Box. Shakey Boy Box. Randomness Plunger. Infinite Input Randomness Generator. What the hell do we call this thing?
Today we're reviewing Shake that City, the new city building game published by AEG with a box like no other. Nearly without fail, it produces a three-by-three grid of colored cubes to lay onto your city board. Does this box make a game? Come find out.
