Description

You are a resident of idyllic Sunnyvale, California. You care deeply about the housing crisis currently afflicting the state, and strongly support the construction of more affordable housing. You just have some very reasonable concerns about these specific affordable housing projects, at this particular time, in your neighborhood. Luckily, there’s plenty of space in all those other neighborhoods to get these projects built!

This game features a unique anti-space-packing mechanic (think reverse Tetris). Players give Affordable Housing project cards to their opponents as they place concern tokens across a map so as to efficiently block any new housing from being added.

Created by Seamus Allen, Sam Jett, Nils Forstall, Jennifer Lin, Huston Taylor, and Shirley Wei.

Notes

  • This game contains a premium upgrade called UV Coating that makes the printed components more durable.
  • This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
