From BoardGameGeek

Minikin City is a strategic game where every card you play has a double meaning. Colors and values give you rewards each round, while icons and effects give you points at the end, but only if you fill the card with Minikins! Reward cards at the center determine the best color for each round. The cards played in that round determine the players' ranking. Choose to play a card with a high value in the best color to get the most powerful reward, or play a card with an effect you like... or both! Many effects on the cards and rewards at the center give you Minikins that you can place on your cards. At the end of the game, only the cards that you have filled with the required number of Minikins will activate their scoring effect. Create your cute city in this clever card game! -description from the publisher
