In Santa Monica, you'll dive into the challenge of building the most charming and appealing stretch of Southern California coastline. The idea is to create a neighborhood that truly embodies Santa Monica, with the freedom to choose the style that most appeals to you. How about a super calm beach, focused on nature and tranquility? Or do you prefer something more bustling, with tourists everywhere and lots of energy? Perhaps a middle ground, appealing to both locals and visitors, would be ideal? The decision is yours, and each choice will shape the identity of your little piece of paradise. Each round, the mechanic is simple yet full of strategy: you'll draft a feature card from the central display. These cards can be used to develop either your beach or the street that accompanies it. The secret to success lies in making these features work together, creating synergies that will earn you many victory points. It's a game of planning and optimization, where the interaction between the pieces you choose is fundamental. In the end, whoever has the smartest combination and the highest-scoring neighborhood takes the victory. Get ready for a light yet strategic game, perfect for those who enjoy watching their creation grow and prosper!
