## Description
Hey everyone! Ready to spice up your "Welcome To..." experience? These additions bring two new thematic neighborhoods to shake up your games. First up is "Easter Egg Hunt," where the main goal is to grab eggs to boost your score. Think about collecting as many eggs as possible to secure that sweet bonus at the end. It's a lighter take, focused on collection optimization.

Then we have the "Doomsday Thematic Neighborhood," plunging you into a more intense situation: an impending nuclear apocalypse! The mission here is to save as many people as you can. The twist is that when you build houses with bunkers, you save people equal to the house number. And that's not all: at the end of the game, whoever saved the most people on each street gets bonus points. It's a race against time and your neighbors, with a much more dramatic theme.

And for those who enjoy playing solo or want an extra challenge, there's a new solo mode! Now you can face off against an architect from AAA company. This expansion is perfect for those who already love the "Welcome To..." series and want more variety, whether for playing with friends on themed nights (Easter or doomsday, who knows?) or for testing your skills against the game in solo mode. The flip-and-write, bingo, and pattern-building mechanics remain strong, ensuring that familiar and addictive gameplay we know and love. It's guaranteed fun for up to 50 players, but it also shines in a solitary session!
