City building game online
Build a city from scratch on a grid: roads, houses, shops and parks. Every house next to a road brings residents, and residents pay taxes and fill the shops.
Tip: houses and shops need a road next to them. Bulldozing refunds half the cost.
How to play the city builder
Pick a tool (road, house, shop, park or bulldoze) and tap an empty square on the grid. Dragging your finger also works to lay roads quickly. Every building costs coins.
Houses and shops only work when a road is next to them. A house with a road has 4 residents, or 6 when it sits next to a park. Taxes depend on the population, and each shop earns more when there are people to buy.
Every few seconds a day passes: money comes in, the population grows and parks cost a small upkeep. Plan your roads before the houses so the city grows without running out of money.
Frequently asked questions
How do you earn money in a city building game?
From taxes on residents and from shops. Build roads first, then houses next to them, and then shops, which earn more as the population grows.
Are parks worth it?
Yes. A park next to a house raises its residents, but it costs a small upkeep every day. Use parks in moderation.
