What It Is

You build a town of granite streets with brass tram rails set into them. Steam trams run along the streets, pick up townsfolk at their homes and ring a bell at each stop. It is a game without stress: there are no fires, no plagues and no starvation. If the flour runs out, the bakery waits for the mill.

Nothing appears out of thin air. Builders fetch timber, brass and cogwheels from the depots and raise each building in stages, from a timber frame to a finished roof. Merchant airships come down to the Sky-Wharf, tie up at its mooring mast and trade.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter turn the trees and settle snow on the roofs, and each season has its own fair. The townsfolk stroll, sit on benches and read the Borough Gazette. Over five tiers a hamlet grows into a metropolis, and the last thing you build is the Grand Exposition, all to an acoustic soundtrack.
