How to Play Machi Koro

Learning how to play Machi Koro takes about five minutes. This page covers setup, the turn structure, the four card colors, and the landmark abilities — everything you need before your first game (or before playing free vs AI on this site).

Setup

• Give each player a Wheat Field and a Bakery (your starting establishments).
• Place four landmarks face-down in front of each player: Train Station, Shopping Mall, Amusement Park, Radio Tower.
• Lay the supply establishments face-up, grouped by activation number.
• Each player takes 3 coins. Choose a starting player.

Turn Structure

A turn has three phases:

1. Roll — one die (or two if you've built the Train Station). With two dice, add the results.
2. Earn — every building you own whose number matches the roll activates:
   • Blue: bank pays you on any turn.
   • Green: bank pays you on your turn.
   • Red: you take coins from the roller.
   • Purple: you take from all opponents (or a special effect).
3. Build — pay to construct one establishment or complete one landmark.

The Landmarks

Train Station	4	Roll one or two dice
Shopping Mall	10	+1 coin to Bakery, Café, Convenience Store, Restaurant
Amusement Park	16	Extra turn when you roll doubles
