Vibe's take
Satisfying and squeezed – the grid always has one hole in the wrong shape, and the market never offers exactly it.
About this game
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.
