- Press Start building. A seven by seven grid appears with a few rocks you cannot build on, and a queue of buildings to place.
- Tap an empty tile to put the current building there. Hovering a tile shows how many points that spot would add or lose.
- Each building scores a base value plus bonuses or penalties for its four neighbours. The rules are listed under the grid.
- The game ends when the last building is placed. Your city score is the sum of every tile.
Controls: mouse or touch. Made by CalcoTools.
Tips and strategy
- Factories like other factories, so build a single industrial corner and keep everything else away from it.
- Parks give houses and towers the best bonuses. A plus-shaped cluster of parks feeds several neighbours.
- You can see the next two buildings coming, so save the best tiles for the pieces that need them.
- Rocks are useful walls. Put a factory behind one to keep it out of reach of houses.
FAQ
- Is the order of buildings random?
- Yes. Every game shuffles the same set of buildings, so you can count what is left but never know the order.
- Can a score go negative?
- A single tile can, for example a house between factories, but a careful plan keeps the city well above zero.
- Can I undo a placement?
- No. Like a real zoning decision, a placement is final, so check the preview number before you commit.
