A game of pips and palaces, tiles and temples...

What city reveals itself to you?

◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆

There's something about cities and secrets that just gets me going. Inspired by Italo Calvino's famous encyclopedia of impossible cities and work I've been doing on a Twitter bot, Domino City is a small, lightweight project you can use to make a little urban space. I encourage adaptations and remixes, and rule-breaking of all sorts!

All you need is some dominoes, and if you have die then you can use the included expansion Dwellers of Domino City to add salacious, mysterious inhabitants. That's actually where this all started, an array of "inhabitants" I was curating for a Twitter bot I am currently building, tentatively called Night Dwellers Bot. Look out for that when published, it will generate prompts/assets/NPCs for a game like this, or any other nocturnal urban setting.

If you do end up remixing Domino City, I'd love to see it. :-)

This is as much a toy as anything, so have some light fun and see what happens!

All the best,
