  1. I feel like there should be more turn-based sandbox city builder games.

    Turn-based city builders are a very niche genre, but they're all on the minmax/puzzle side of the genre that I know of.

    What if you could freely and creatively build something sandbox-style (think #CitiesSkylines / #OpenTTD / #TransportFever), and advance time and see the results of your infrastructure by pressing 'next turn'?

    That could be really interesting. It's like a third way between agent and abstraction based models. It could solve the time scaling issues. It could lead to really interesting game design opportunities.
