About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to expand your neighborhood in Welcome To... with two thematic packs that bring new features and extra challenges! The 'Ice Cream Truck' adds a sweet and frosty twist to your games. Now, following the ice cream truck becomes a key strategy to get extra points and treats, adding a layer of planning and a fun touch to your street building. Meanwhile, 'Outbreak!' plunges players into a survival scenario against a zombie invasion. Your mission? Protect the residents, build barricades, and collect ammunition to defend against the horde. It's a race against time and the undead to ensure the safety and prosperity of your neighborhood. Both expansions bring new graphics and thematic elements that create unprecedented ways to score, maintaining the essence of the original 'flip-and-write' game you already know.

Each thematic neighborhood is a new story waiting to be written in your urban planning notebook.
