Objective of the Game
Consulte o manual para detalhes sobre esta seção.
Preparation (Setup)
To set up a "Classic" game, use the 11 Public Service tiles from this expansion marked with a "Classic" background. For an "Expert" game, use the 13 Public Service tiles marked with an "Expert" background.
Shuffle the appropriate Public Service tiles from the expansion and form a face-down stack next to the Construction Site. Then, follow the standard set-up as described in the base game rules.
At the beginning of the game, draw and reveal the first 4 tiles from the Public Service stack and place them face up next to the Construction Site.
Fluxo do Jogo
At the end of each round, discard any remaining Public Service tiles. Then, draw 4 new tiles from the stack and place them face up next to the Construction Site for the next round. When the stack is exhausted, shuffle the discarded tiles and form a new stack of Public Service tiles (using tiles from the expansion only).
Ações e Como Jogar
During the game, when players pick a standard Public Service tile from the Construction Site, they may:
- either place that standard Public Service tile in their city and discard one of the visible Public Service tiles (among those next to the Construction Site);
- or discard that standard Public Service tile and place one of the visible Public Service tiles (among those next to the Construction Site) in their city.
For example, if John decides to take the Police Station, he places his Architect in front of a standard Public Service on the Construction Site, takes it, then discards it to place the Police Station in his city instead.

Scoring Criteria
- Customs Office (Classic): At the end of the game, score 3 VPs if you have a complete row or column of Harbors in your city. At the end of the game, score 1 VP for each Public Service in your city (including itself).
- City Hall (Classic): At the end of the game, score 1 VP for each district that is fully built in your city (without any empty spots). Also score 1 extra VP if the city is fully built (without any empty spots).
- City Planning (Classic): Consulte o manual para detalhes sobre esta seção.
- Capitol (Expert): At the end of the game, consider the Capitol as a Public Service AND as a Monument. As such, it scores 2 VPs for each adjacent Public Service, 3 VPs for each adjacent Shop, and 5 VPs for each adjacent Park. It also inflicts a penalty of 5 VPs for each adjacent Factory or Harbor. The Capitol requires 3 Inhabitants to be activated. As a Public Service, it would score 2 VPs if adjacent to a monument.
- City Hall (Expert): At the end of the game, score 1 VP for each Public Service in your city (including itself).
- Customs Office (Expert): At the end of the game, score 5 VPs if you have a complete line or column of Harbors in your city.
- City Planning (Expert): At the end of the game, score 1 VP for each district that is fully built in your city (without any empty spots). Also score 1 extra VP if the city is fully built (without any empty spots).
- Congress Center (Expert): At the end of the game, consider the Congress Center as a Public Service AND as an Office Tower. To calculate the score of your Office Towers, count how many of them are adjacent to each other as usual. Add the Congress Center if it is adjacent to one of them. Then, check the corresponding line on your Helper to know how many VPs you score per Office Tower, depending on its number of floors. The Congress Center is not an Office Tower and thus does not score as one. It cannot be stacked with other tiles. Also, VPs scored for Office Towers cannot exceed the final line of the table (5 adjacent Office Towers).
