Product Description

In the tile-laying game Sunrise City, players build a city with zone tiles, bid for control of those zones, then place building tiles on the city zones to their best advantage. Each round the players use role cards to grant them special abilities in the various game phases. Points earned during play move score tokens up a ten point track. Players score one benchmark token if their score marker overshoots the star at the top of their score track but earn two benchmarks if their token lands on the star by exact count. Thus, Sunrise City is not a race to score the most points; it's a contest to grow the city in a manner that will earn you the right number of points at the right time to maximize your benchmarks. After three rounds, the player with the most benchmarks wins.

Sunrise City Board Game Review

I'm a big fan of SimCity, so when I found Sunrise City on Kickstarter, I knew I wanted to get this game made, if only because I, myself, would really enjoy it. I've been presently surprised to find that many of my friends and family enjoy the game as well.

The game is a competitive "city building" game. Over the course of three rounds, players will compete to build the tallest buildings that meet the zoning codes of the land to the best effect.

At the beginning of each round, each player will choose one of 4 "Role" cards dealt to them at the beginning of each game. These will not only determine the order of play, but also provide additional abilities based on whether you role is "City Planner", "Construction Site Manager", "Mayor", etc. These benefits will allow you to ignore zoning codes, swap tiles with other players, score additional points under various circumstances and so on.

Second, players will take turns placing zoning tiles. These square tiles will either have a "Residential", "Commercial", "Industrial", "Park" or "Mixed Use" designation. Additionally, tiles must be placed in such a way as to maintain the street grid (as well as the waterfront that can border some of the tiles).

Third, players take turn bidding on zones where they will be allowed to build ground level buildings. In turn players place one bidding token on the tile they wish to claim. If two tokens of the same player's color are placed in succession, that tile is locked to that player.

Finally, players will take turns placing building tiles. These tiles are 2 x 1 dimension so each building piece must span two zoning tiles. Additionally, players can only place building tiles in a way that matches the visible zoning in play (with "Mixed Use" being wild). The building tiles have point values on them that a player will score for each successful tile placed.

Once every player has placed their building tiles, the second round happens, then the final round, with the winner being the player with the most scored points.

The neat benefit of this round structure is that the city starts small and compact in the first round, but by the final round, the city borders have expanded allowing more building opportunities. It also allows 2-players to play a modified game that lasts for more than 3 rounds.

Overall, the game is enjoyable (after that first, awkward, learning the rules game). Some younger children might not have the attention span or interest to persist through the entire game. But for a nerdy game with friends or family, I am extremely glad that I found this little gem.
