About the game

What you do in a play session

In Welcome To..., you step into the shoes of an ambitious architect in 1950s America, tasked with designing the best new suburb. This game, which plays like a "roll-and-write" but without dice, uses cards to generate actions. Each round, three piles of cards are revealed, forming three distinct action sets. Each set includes a house number and a corresponding action. All players simultaneously choose one of these sets to use on their planning sheet. You must fill in the houses on your street in ascending numerical order, which requires careful planning. The chosen actions allow for various strategies: you can increase the value of your estates, score points for building parks and pools, or even manipulate house numbers to optimize your layout. Additionally, there are public goals that players race to complete first, adding an extra layer of competition. With so many tactical options and ever-changing action sets, each game of Welcome To... is unique. Simultaneous gameplay ensures that the game flows quickly and supports a large number of participants, making it perfect for large groups or even solo play. It's a fun and strategic challenge for those who enjoy optimizing spaces and planning their moves in advance.
