Mayor, you've been commissioned to construct a city more populous and prestigious! Dispatch 1 of your architects to claim buildings tiles, but be careful the architect you dispatch determines which building you get and where you can place it. Will you build towering apartments, bustling malls, blooming green spaces, or factories to supply your shops and harbors? Build your city in Quadropolis!
Each player builds their own metropolis in Quadropolis (first announced as City Mania), but they're competing with one another for the shops, parks, public services and other structures to be placed in them.
The game lasts four rounds, and in each round players first lay out tiles for the appropriate round at random on a 5x5 grid. After four rounds, the game ends. Players can move the inhabitants and energy among their tiles at any point during the game to see how to maximize their score. At game end, they then score for each of the six types of buildings depending on how well they build their city, whoever has the highest score wins.
