You start with a single region on the grid. Grow it into an empire!
๐ Community Gateways bring new ๐ฅ Residents every minute โ but Residents only stay if there is enough going on. The more and better businesses and landmarks you have, the more want to stay.
Residents need somewhere to live โ build Homes to raise your capacity. Homes also pay Rental.
Businesses need Residents to run. Cafรฉs collect Donations, stores make Sales, and clubs and venues run Events.
Click a building to choose a job โ from 2 minutes up to half an hour. Longer jobs pay more. Once started, a job always runs to the end. When the timer runs out, click it again to collect.
๐ท Builders: you have two. Each builds or upgrades one thing at a time, so when both are busy, you have to wait.
โก Energy is needed to build and upgrade, and buildings slowly use it up. Collect it from Landmarks like the Phil Linden Statue. At 0 Energy you can't start new jobs at businesses or homes.
๐ Traffic is earned every time you collect a job (businesses pay the most), and it raises your Level. Higher Levels unlock new buildings, upgrades โ and new regions: you start with one, and each extra region needs a higher Level.
Spend L$ on parcels, buildings, upgrades and new regions. Regions must border land you already own.
๐ Diamonds are rare. You get them for completing Goals and for every new Level. Use them to finish a build or upgrade right away โ or save up and buy a whole region with them.
Click a parcel to buy it, build on it, or upgrade what's there. Follow the Goals for bonus L$ and Diamonds.
Once you own more than one region, watch out: other players can grief one of your regions โ it is offline for 4 hours (Diamonds bring it back sooner).
The game saves automatically. Jobs, builds and upgrades keep running while you're away โ but Residents and Energy only move while you're actually playing, and Traffic only comes from the jobs you collect.
