Zoning Out

A city building game for 1 or more players using the Looney Pyramids game system.

During the game, you will be drawing random pyramids and adding them to your city's grid. Pyramids represent different municipal building zones. Red is Residential ("redsidential"), Yellow is Industrial ("industriyellow"), Blue is Commercial ("bluemercial"), and Green is Parks ("green space"). Black pyramids represent certain necessary, but perhaps unpleasant to be next to, facilities such as wastewater treatment plants and city dumps.

Large pyramids are large developments, and smaller ones are smaller. You will be building out your city subject to certain constraints. Generally, you want colors to be grouped together with the exception of the black pieces, which you usually want touching as few pieces as possible. Depending on which scoring rules you're playing with, these rules of thumb can vary, however.

The scoring rules you choose will have target scores written on them. The sum of all three target scores will determine the score you need to win.
