Rebuilding Seattle

Players act as city planners rebuilding a neighborhood after a major fire, managing population growth, money, and zoning over a series of rounds. Each turn a player can build a new structure, expand into a suburb tile, activate a citywide event, or construct a landmark, then collect profit from neighborhood commerce. Buildings are purchased from a shared market and placed to fit a personal grid; upgrades, laws, and event effects alter scoring and available actions. Suburb tiles connect flexibly to the grid to create unique layouts. Endgame scoring rewards building types, upgrades, landmarks, events, and remaining cash. A solo deck simulates an opponent for solo play.
