Summary: Plan ahead as you number your houses and design your neighborhood in this simultaneous-play flip-and-write game.

You Might Like If… you enjoy working on a puzzle where you need to plan ahead and want a game that can plays well anywhere from 2 players to 12+ players. The sequel Welcome to the Moon is our personal favorite in this line, but only supports 6 players, so the original is still a great option for playing with large groups.
