THE QUICK INTRODUCTION

What’s it all about?

SimCity BuildIt turns city growth into a chain of small planning decisions. Homes need materials to improve, factories keep those materials moving, and public services must keep pace with expansion. A larger skyline is satisfying, but an organised layout makes the next round of building easier to manage.

Start by understanding which supplies your current projects require. Expanding faster than you can support creates extra work, so leave room for services and consider the cost of each upgrade. Trading and optional competitive activities add variety once the basic city is running. It is a mobile building game with waiting periods and optional purchases.
