## Description
Let's build a greener future in Sunshine City! This game is for those who enjoy seeing a metropolis transform into an ecological oasis, you know? The idea is to upgrade your buildings, devise some cool technologies, and gain support from both public and private sectors. It's a roll-and-write-and-move style game, playable by any number of people, from one player to... well, all your friends! Each round, the excitement comes from rolling two dice. With the lower result, you move one of your three workers – the builder, the inventor, or the lobbyist. With the higher result, you move a different worker. Wherever they land in your city's seven districts, you collect resources. Then the magic happens: builders use resources to increase the city's production, inventors spend them to unlock special abilities that give the game an upgrade, and lobbyists gain support for projects, opening doors to unique and powerful abilities. The ultimate goal? Be the first to build seven solar farms in your city. It's a race against time (and against other players!) to see who builds the brightest and most sustainable future. Perfect for those who like to plan, optimize, and watch their city grow, all with a very optimistic and sustainable sci-fi vibe.
