Streets

Build streets, fill them with shops and homes, and read the neighborhood your rivals create to profit from it.

The city used to be a sleepy town, but cheap properties attracted artists, startups and families, then celebrities and influencers, and after some archeological finds the tourists arrived too. You are an investor building new streets one tile at a time, filling them with businesses and homes. Some streets become hipster hotspots, others tourist traps or family neighborhoods, and some turn into proper shopping areas. Where does the Microbrewery earn the most? Where does the Toy Store belong? Other investors are shaping their own environments, and you can exploit their work for your own gain. When a street is completed, the people living on it move to new buildings that interest them. A thoughtful tile-laying game with a clear city theme.

Who it's for

You like quiet tile-placement puzzles where you profit from clever positioning, and you enjoy theming your own tiny city.

Not for you if…

You want high-conflict or flashy components. The game is a considered optimization of where tiles sit.

Vibe's take

Thoughtful and a touch sneaky. You mostly build your own streets, but the best points come from placing next to what others have built.
