The game sets up a 6x6 grid initially filled with random items, mainly grass and trees. This is your city and it is up to you to improve it given the items that become available. You as the player are given an item to place on this grid each turn. The aim is to place 3 of the same type of item next to each other in order to combine them into one better item, worth more points. As the game progresses and you combine more and more, while also scavenging to free up space, you will find that a score display is tracking the value of the items you have in your city. The value of the items basically goes by how much has been combined to get to that item, For example 3 squares of grass makes a bush, 3 bushes make a tree, 3 trees make a house, 3 houses make a bigger house etc. The game makes this more interesting by introducing bears as placeable items (which you must eventually place) which tend to get in the way when you are stuck for space. Fortunately if you manage to trap or place three bears or more in a location that they can no longer make moves, they will give up on life and die, creating a tombstone in their wake. These tombstones in the same vein as all the other items can be combined to make churches and so the mechanics continue. That is a simple summary of how this game works and hopefully by the description you can tell that it really does. The only thing stopping me from constantly playing it is the move limit. A ploy by developers to get you to spend cash to unlock unlimited moves. But to be honest I find this to be a great feature for forcing you to stop wasting your time playing this addictive little game, while at the same time welcoming you back once the move counter has risen again after a couple of hours. Overall this game is a complete positive in my book.Visuals: 9/10
