About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Ready to add a special touch to your neighborhood in Welcome To...? This expansion, Welcome To...: Summer Thematic Neighborhood, brings more than just a new look to the streets. It comes with some fresh scoring ideas to make your neighborhood even more stylish. You get 3 new city plans to inspire you and 50 brand-new sheets, featuring updated art and mechanics that will make you think differently. The theme here is following the ice cream truck! You'll be writing numbers to move these trucks down each street. The reward? Extra points for each scoop of ice cream and, if you're lucky, a bonus if you have the ice cream cone in the right street. It's like a themed bingo, where each move brings you closer to a dream neighborhood (or at least a high score!). Perfect for those who already enjoy the base game and want more variety, or for anyone who likes a challenge with a light and fun theme. The simultaneous action selection mechanic ensures everyone plays together without losing momentum, and the solo mode is great for those who want to relax and build the perfect neighborhood alone. Make sure to check out this expansion; it adds a welcome breath of fresh air with new strategies and that satisfying feeling of completing a unique pattern on your neighborhood board.
