A city-building tile puzzle set after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, where population growth forces you to keep zoning while suburb tiles let your grid grow into whatever shape you choose.
Who it's for
Tile-fitting and city-building fans who want a mid-weight optimisation puzzle with a light historical frame.
Not for you if…
You want strong player interaction, or spatial puzzles where the perfect piece never appears make you itch.
Vibe's take
Satisfying and squeezed – the grid always has one hole in the wrong shape, and the market never offers exactly it.
