About the game

What is Sunshine City?

The future is now! Turn your thriving metropolis into an eco-friendly paradise by upgrading your buildings, creating new technology, and getting support from public and private sectors. Sunshine City is a roll-and-write-and-move for any number of players. Each turn, roll two dice. All players then move one of their three workers — builder, inventor, or lobbyist — based on the lower die roll, then a different worker based on the higher die roll, gaining resources in whichever of your city's seven districts they land in. Builders spend resources to increase your city's production, inventors spend resources on special abilities, and lobbyists gain support for projects, which gives access to powerful one-off powers. The first player to build seven solar farms in their city wins! —description from the publisher
