Description

Do your best to build your houses in the most desirable areas by providing facilities like parks where you have the most, while making sure the local Gas Works is at the end of your opponent's street.

Comments

A good game, probably at its best with 4 or 5. The game is playable with less, the rules suggest 4 as minimum. The mechanism for building developments is nice meaning you need to watch the relative house numbers in the different areas, so it may sometimes be advisable to put a negative value into an area where you have houses, if your major opponent has more.(Dave D)

Not a lot to this game. Your opponents decide how well you do. It is fun in its simple way. No problems in grasping the rules and it is easy to chat while playing. Little down time. Pleasant light feel. Taking out one of the six town "blocks" allowed the game to play ok with the 3 of us even though it is a 4 to 6 player game. Dave's maths held up well during final scoring.(Gordon)
