But the collector’s cards from all City Island games is nice! If you want the best buildings then u have to pay ( outside of luck from free spins and chests. Forced ads aren’t excessive and usually run a little over 5 secs; it’s F2P so unless they charge you dishonestly, or if you notice your free chests or spins glitching, or not rewarding you with buildings to help progress then don’t pay. That’s my motto and I won’t give a negative review, or a review with less than five, unless ANY game has shady tactics. I’ll update if I notice anything but with all Sparkling Society games, u can go back and forth and have fun. I do contribute to free games at least once(even if I don’t continue playing)if the game is honest and respectful—regarding my customer value. ### 5/5 — Like this *2023-12-05, version 1.3.4* Thank you to the games people. Exceptionally good, I can hardly tear myself away at times. Looking forward to what lies ahead. 5 stars all the way. ### 2/5 — Duplicates *2023-11-30, version 1.3.4* I have far too many duplicates and I am unable to finish 1st Island. I rather finish one island at a time then go on. This game needs to be looked over and fixed. Island 2 comes too early. ### 3/5 — Same *2023-11-22* I have far too many duplicates and I am unable to finish 1st Island. I rather finish one island at a time then go on. ### 5/5 — Love it but: *2023-11-20* Love this game but there has to be an easier way of getting land if it wasn’t so expensive.. ### 3/5 — Missing island *2023-11-03, version 1.3.0* I downloaded this game as I thought it was a jolly good buy, all five islands. Alas it was not to be as only four islands are available on the game. This is despite the fact that island number five appears on the screen, and buildings are available for it but you cannot place any on the island. I did write to the authors of the game but got no response. This is either a glitch or it was done deliberately to tempt more people to get the game. If island number five was available, I would have no hesitation in giving it five stars. ## Frequently asked questions about City Island ### What is City Island: Collections Sim?
