About the game
As an architect in Welcome To..., you want to build the best new town in the United States of the 1950s by adding resources to a pool, hiring employees, and more. Welcome To... plays like a roll-and-write dice game in which you mark results on a score-sheet...but without dice. Instead you flip cards from three piles to make three different action sets with both a house number and a corresponding action from which everyone chooses one. You use the number to fill in a house on your street in numerical order. Then you take the action to increase the point value of estates you build or score points at the end for building parks and pools. Players also have the option of taking actions to alter or duplicate their house numbers. And everyone is racing to be the first to complete public goals. There's lots to do and many paths to becoming the best suburban architect in Welcome To...! Welcome To... Mini is a smaller standalone version of Welcome To... that consists solely of six laminated sheets (10 cm x 10 cm), six mini-dry erase markers, and 55 cards; no rules are included in the box, and the publisher has stated that this version will be sold only as an add-on to the original Welcome To... game.
