Sprawlopolis: Roadwork is an expansion for Sprawlopolis released in 2023 for 1–4 players, 15–20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Danny Devine, Steven Aramini, and Jason Tagmire and its main mechanics are Tile Placement, Layering, and Cooperative Game.
Traffic congestion is a high point. Ease your commuters’ anguish with new roads to keep the city moving. In Roadwork, each player will get one of the four cards in this expansion. If they don’t play the card before the end of the game, it will cost them points. The catch, of course, is that the card must integrate seamlessly with roads in your city in order to be placed, which is rarely going to be as easy to accomplish as it sounds. You can also scale up the difficulty, giving more of these cards to the group playing.
Sprawlopolis: Roadwork supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Sprawlopolis: Roadwork is 15–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Sprawlopolis: Roadwork for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Sprawlopolis: Roadwork has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.

The credited designers of Sprawlopolis: Roadwork are: Danny Devine, Steven Aramini, and Jason Tagmire.

The catalogue lists Sprawlopolis: Roadwork as an expansion for Sprawlopolis. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Sprawlopolis to use it. Check that your edition of Sprawlopolis is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
