What players say
This game cost me less than $2 on sale and now having played it, I'd have been more than willing to play the full paltry price. I absolutely love the Metropolis inspired art-deco style. But the art is not the only Metropolis reference- though here Futura (Iris in this game) is the attempted mediator rather than the antagonist.

Yet another cozy city builder, based on the draw of cards, except on a larger scale than something like Sky Settlers, for example. You draw three cards at a time, each of which represents a building for a faction you can build. Make certain arrangements of the same building and you get extra points. These point tallies are then subtracted from at the end of each week until one of them reach zero - and the run is...
Bought it on sale for about £1.28 (probably $2?) and it was well worth about 10 hours of gameplay. Fairly simple puzzle game, nothing that complex. It actually could have been much better if the system stacked more and became more complex but great what what it is. And if you like art deco meets futurism than you're in for a treat.
