About the game
What you do in a play session
Welcome To…: Winter Wonderland – Thematic Neighborhood is the expansion that brings a Christmas vibe to your beloved neighborhood. Imagine each house you build in numeric order gets twinkling lights that connect, forming chains that score at the end of the game. The goal remains simple: build the most beautiful and profitable neighborhood, but the festive decoration adds an extra layer of strategy. Each pack includes three city plan cards that bring new scoring rules and challenges. Bingo mechanics kick in when you try to complete patterns on your cards; meanwhile, contracts give you clear objectives to fulfill. The game keeps the Paper-and-Pencil style, where you jot down choices and scores on paper, keeping everything tidy. Pattern Building helps optimize the placement of houses to maximize light chains, while Simultaneous Action Selection keeps the tension high as everyone chooses actions at once. If you enjoy solo play, the Solitaire version offers a calm challenge, and it can even be played with up to 100 players, making it a great holiday gift. In short, Winter Wonderland is a festive expansion that blends neighborhood building, pattern scoring, and a Christmas spirit that brightens any table.
