How to play

The goal is to keep coming up with a valid city and outlast your opponents. Just 4 steps to your first game.

01

Take turns

Players name cities in turn. The first player picks any city, then the relay goes around the circle.

02

On the last letter

Each next city must start with the letter the previous one ended on. Boston — Nashville — Newark, and so on.

03

No repeats

You can't reuse a city that's already been named. If a city ends in an awkward letter, the previous usable letter of the word is used instead.

04

Elimination

Anyone who can't come up with a new city is knocked out of the game. The last player standing wins.

About the game

Cities is a classic word game, familiar since childhood, that's great for sharpening your memory and general knowledge. The more cities you know, the easier it is to find an answer for tricky letters — and the nastier the letters you can hand your opponents. The trick is to end your cities on rare letters while keeping a stash of names ready for the common ones. On muta.pro you can play Cities right in your browser with no install, gather a group of two to eight people, and run a real tournament of trivia buffs.
