Small City: Deluxe Edition
You are the mayor of one borough of Small City, and you have eight turns to secure enough votes to be re-elected. To do this, you have to attract more citizens, encourage the growth of residential areas for them to live in, and aid the expansion of both the commercial and industrial sectors – though the latter sector also brings pollution with it, and you need to deal with that, too, as high pollution levels will have a negative effect on your score at the end of the game. Small City Deluxe Edition, one of the best city-building game on a 90° grid like in a real city!
Gameplay
If you build suitable infrastructure, your citizens will undoubtedly vote for your re-election. Beware of false promises, though! Votes can be earned over the course of the game by placing citizens in the residential spaces, by erecting cultural buildings, by keeping commercial buildings in suitable areas, and also by making good on the promises that you made to the citizens at the beginning of the game. But don’t forget to take care of the pollution level in order to not ruin your effort…
The player with the most votes (i.e., victory points) after eight turns wins.
Summarised
Proper planning is required to do well in this thinky and puzzly game. There’s a surprising amount of interactivity, to the point of unexpected level of good meaning meanness.
This new version includes:
– a new revised book of rules
– new illustrations from Kwanchai Moriya!
– new variants that keep the best of the rules of the old edition
– a revised version of the solo game
