  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.

    I kinda wonder if you're going through the same pipeline I did.

    Where initially I was looking for "city builder but solarpunk and bicycles" but found what I *actually* want is "resource management for a community, but you're incentivized to balance your production to your needs, and disincentivized from overproduction".

    and like, both of those are niche genres atm, but they're distinct.

    I've found Arcs (board game) and Against the Storm (video game) scratch the second itch well, because it's not really possible to snowball to complete control - only to keep responding to your environment in more complex ways.

    (Block'Hood ticks both boxes!)

  6. Looking for a solarpunk city building game

    I want a city building game, where I can build a working, car-free city. I want lots of pedestrians, cargo bikes, bicycles, public transport with trams, trains, subways and some buses. I'd like renewable energy as well for my electricity.
    Which game can you recommend?
