## Description
In Rebuilding Seattle, you step into the shoes of a city planner tasked with rebuilding the city after the great fire of 1889. The goal is to transform Seattle into an even more prosperous and functional metropolis. Each round, the population grows, and you must make strategic decisions: build new buildings, expand into suburbs, activate special events, or erect iconic landmarks. The profit generated by your neighborhood's commerce is crucial to funding your plans.

The game involves purchasing building tiles from a shared market, where you seek shapes and types that best fit your personal grid and strategy. Planning the zoning and expansion of your neighborhood is key. City-wide events can shift the tide of the game, offering bonuses and opportunities for those who are prepared. You can also enact laws to gain tactical advantages. Construction requires carefully fitting tiles into your grid and placing landmarks on the right terrain combinations. Expansion is flexible, allowing you to connect new suburb areas in unique ways, shaping a neighborhood with your identity.

Ultimately, scoring is based on various factors: the types of buildings constructed, upgrades made, landmarks erected, events completed, and remaining cash. For solo players, Rebuilding Seattle offers a deck for solo play, simulating an opponent's actions and allowing you to refine your strategies to create the best version of Seattle.
