About the game

What you do in a play session

Welcome to the world of **Welcome To…: Doomsday Thematic Neighborhood**, an expansion that turns the classic neighborhood game into a nuclear survival scenario with a dash of bingo and contracts. Instead of just decorating the map, you now get to save lives while trying to rack up points. Each pack brings three city‑plan cards that introduce new ways to score and new building combinations. The bingo mechanic has you marking houses as they’re built, while contracts let you promise to rescue a specific number of people on each street. The paper‑and‑pencil component adds a manual‑writing element: you draw the neighborhoods, jot down scores, and plan your strategies. Pattern building emerges when you line up houses, bunkers, and roads to create winning sequences. Players select actions simultaneously, revealing them all at once to prevent anyone from gaining an information edge. If you enjoy solo play, this pack works in solitaire mode, offering unique challenges for those who want to test their skills alone. The expansion was crowdfunded on Kickstarter, so you already know the community is super engaged. In short, **Welcome To…: Doomsday** adds depth, variety, and an apocalyptic theme that keeps everyone on edge while trying to save as many lives as possible. Perfect for fans of bingo mechanics, city planning, and that post‑apocalypse survival vibe, but who still want group fun.
