The Incredible Animal Circus is a card game for the whole family, where each player is dealt the same deck of 22 cards. Each animal has a value and a unique special characteristic. When it is your turn, you may take a new card from your personal pile and then you must choose a card to add to the ring. You must try to play a card with a higher value than the card played by the previous player, otherwise that player wins all the cards currently in the ring. When you play the card, you also immediately perform the card's special ability. This ability can have an immediate effect or one that lasts for the rest of the game. It can also change the rules of the game. This way you continue playing until someone runs out of cards and ultimately the player with the most points wins!

Each player has a board on which he will build his city. At the start of the campaign it has a few different features - empty fields, rocks, trees, and so on. The buildings he builds are represented by polyominoes, the Tetris-like shapes, in three different colors. There is a pile of cards between the players and a card with one of the polyominoes is turned over. Players must then build it in their city. The campaign consists of 24 games, divided into 8 chapters of 3 games each. During each game, players customize their experience by adding items and rules to their personal boards and cards, and to the game. Player choices and actions made during a game carry over to the next session, creating a unique, personalized gaming experience. The winner of each game earns development points for the campaign. As the campaign progresses, other ways to earn Development Points will be added. There are usually rule changes between games, but they are only revealed after each chapter (i.e. every third game). For players who don't want to experience My City as a legacy game, there is an 'eternal' game on the back of the board, which can be played at any time. This game board offers an alternative setup for repeatable play. Each game is easy enough to replace players and they wouldn't be at a major disadvantage.

The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach 12 points or to have the most points when the “End of Game” card is turned over. The players collect different colored cards and then exchange them for facade tiles of the same color in different shapes (except white special tiles). The tiles depict fields with windows and brickwork. Using the tiles, the players build the facade of their house piece by piece. Every time a floor (row) or part of the house (column) is completed, the player receives points. A row earns 1 point and a column 2 points. These points are doubled if the row or column consists entirely of windows (2 or 4 points respectively). When players build over a coat of arms or complete a special floor (marked with a coat of arms), they receive skill tokens or special tiles, which help them reach their goal faster
