## Description
Combopolis II is a six‑card combo pack that fuses Sprawlopolis and Naturopolis, letting you blend an urban sprawl with a splash of nature. The twist is that the variant drops the usual card‑passing mechanic: each deck – Sprawlopolis and Naturopolis – is shuffled separately, and at the start a single card from each is flipped to set two scoring conditions. A third card, drawn randomly from the combo pack, provides the final condition. A special starting tile, also from the pack, displays two blocks—one from each terrain—as the launch point.

On a player’s turn, they draw one card from each deck, play one, and discard the other, ensuring both decks run out together. Games are swift—about 15 minutes—and support solo play or 1‑4 players. The goal is to claim the two largest block groups from each game, avoid isolated roads that deduct points, and satisfy the three revealed scoring conditions. The layering system lets cards serve as terrain, markers, or scoring triggers, adding depth without overwhelming complexity.

As a cooperative expansion, Combopolis II encourages players to work together, balancing green spaces and urban blocks for a shared city. It’s ideal for fans of micro‑city‑building games who want a quick, engaging session during a break or before a longer game. Funded on Kickstarter, it continues the wallet‑size ethos of the Sprawlopolis series, offering multi‑use components that unite two distinct mechanics in a compact package.
