# Cities

In Metropolis, you can acquire cities, which allow you to expand your empire by obtaining more land. Each city has a different number of available plots and is categorized into 4 rarities, each with unique benefits.

#### HOW TO OBTAIN CITIES

* The first way to acquire cities (if you act quickly) is through city presales, where you can directly select the rarity of city you prefer.
* The second and PRIMARY way to obtain cities is through in-game minting. Each minting costs **1425 $METRO** and gives you the chance to receive cities of various rarities based on probabilities.
* The third and final way to obtain cities is through the in-game marketplace, where all players can buy and sell cities among each other.
