The expansions – Spring, Summer, Halloween and Winter Wonderland – each introduce a new neighborhood with zoning requirements, contract cards and scoring challenges, all designed to be drawn, marked and erased endlessly. The core game remains the classic "plan the lot, fill out the form, try to meet contracts" but now with the convenience of dry‑erase markers: no disposable tokens, just wipe and play again. Core mechanics include Bingo (checking off requirement rows), Pattern Building (fitting houses to a model), Contracts (bonus objectives), Paper‑and‑Pencil (recording values and choices), Simultaneous Action Selection (everyone picks a lot at once) and a solid solo mode that lets a single player face AI cards. Each neighborhood brings its own visual theme and card set, ensuring that requirement combos never repeat and providing virtually infinite replayability. Playtime sits around 25‑30 minutes, perfect for quick sessions or as a supplement to a larger game. The complexity is light‑to‑moderate, ideal for players who enjoy city‑building strategy without lengthy rulebooks. Because everything is erasable, the box stays compact and the components are eco‑friendly, eliminating paper waste each round. Whether you’re already a Welcome To fan or looking for a neighborhood‑planning game you can replay endlessly, this expansion hits the mark. ## FAQ ### How many players can join? 1 to 4 players, including a solo mode. ### What is the typical play time?
