What this is
Expand their meager neighborhood into a sprawling suburb to attract the most citizens. Players use hex-shaped building tiles to add residential, commercial, civic, and industrial areas, as well as special points of interest that provide benefits and take advantage of the resources of nearby boroughs. Players plan, build, and develop their small borough into a major metropolis.
