About the game
If you already enjoy the vibe of planning your metropolis in Rolling Heights, this Kickstarter Promo Pack arrives to give your board the necessary upgrade. The focus here is to expand construction possibilities and add strategic layers that make space management even tighter and more competitive. The highlight is the 'Waterfront Properties', which bring classic real estate logic: those who manage to settle near the shoreline can profit significantly more. Five new building tiles focus on this territorial valuation, forcing players to fight for every inch of the waterfront.

But it doesn't stop there. The pack also includes the 'World's Fair' building tiles, bringing the pomp and grandeur of a World Expo into your city. In addition to these tiles, those who secured the crowdfunding version also get the Midnight River expansion, which alters the river's dynamics, along with wooden markers that provide a premium feel to the table, replacing basic components with something more tactile and elegant. The pack also integrates all the goals reached during the campaign, ensuring the most complete experience possible.

In practice, this content doesn't change the game's essence but refines the experience. Worker allocation and tile placement gain new objectives and challenges, as you now have more options on where to invest your resources. It's the kind of content that transforms the match into something richer, ideal for those who have already mastered the basic rules and want to test new ways to optimize their score. If you love seeing your city grow with iconic buildings and want the luxury feel of wooden components, this pack is the way to go.
