In City of Iron, 2-4 players compete to build a small nation in a world of machines, magic, and money. Become the leader of one of four rival nations: the industrious Humans, the Path Engineers, the learned Cresarians, or the clever Boarmen. Produce goods such as machine parts and bottled demons to gain wealth, or research Steam Age technology and recruit mercenaries to rule the continent. If you want to found new cities, build schooners or airships to reach distant lands and flying islands. Your cities have limited capacity, so you must decide what to keep and what to demolish as you build advanced structures. The future of a nation is in your hands. Build unbreakable foundations for an empire or fade into the dusty pages of history.
