The fate of creatures touched by the spark of intelligence hangs in the balance. You must recruit strong animal allies to your city and unlock the potential of your citizens if your settlement is to survive the days to come...

Citizens of the Spark is a variable set-up card game in which players take turns attracting citizens, taking actions, and claiming sparks. The more citizen cards a player has of a specific type, the more powerful that citizen's action becomes. The player with the most sparks in their city when the deck runs out wins!

Play with 7-10 animal citizen types per game, chosen from 30 available creatures and combined into one shared deck. Every citizen type has distinct powers, making each game's action combos uniquely variable.

On your turn, recruit multiple citizens by selecting an available group of cards, placing them in your city tableau, and grouping like citizens together to grow their action strength. Next, select one type of citizen in your tableau to activate, taking the effect of the card and discarding it from your city. But keep watch on rival cities, because when you activate a citizen, all players can follow your move and activate a matching citizen of their own!

Citizens of the Spark is great for fans of games like Dominion, SmashUp, Everdell, and Wingspan. You'll find endless clever card combos, gorgeous anthropomorphic animal art, and no down-time between turns.

Jacob ★★★★★

The way the animal allies stack their abilities as your city grows is genius—we had a turn where a wolf recruit turned a losing round into a comeback. It’s got that perfect mix of strategy and luck that keeps everyone talking between plays.

Grace ★★★★★

The first game night with my group ran way longer than planned because we couldn’t stop trying to unlock new citizen abilities—each one feels like a mini puzzle. The animal ally art is gorgeous too, and the city-building tension keeps everyone engaged even between turns. Definitely worth the shelf s

Nicholas ★★★★★

The ally recruitment mechanic really makes each game feel unique, and I love how quickly we got into the flow of building our settlement. It's clever, tense, and we've already played it four times this week.
