Build a Borough

Build A Borough

Welcome to Build A Borough: the game where you design a neighborhood block by block. Gain points and additional resources by constructing buildings and completing quests.

If points and quests aren't your thing then take your time to relax and build the most beautiful borough!

Placing Resources

You have to start somewhere.  To place a resource, click on its icon in the left bar and drag it into the grid. Once a resource is placed you will see it permanently on the grid. Resources can't be moved once placed so be certain of your plan before you click.

Building

To construct a building you have to place its resources in the grid in the pattern specified by its recipe. Once the pattern is complete a completed building will appear! Buildings are worth the investment. You will receive points, additional grid space, and more resources -- all to keep your borough expanding.

Navigating

Navigating your new borough is key to managing it. You will quickly run out of visual room as you construct more buildings. Use the arrow keys or W/A/S/D to move your view of the grid. Use your mouse's scroll wheel to zoom in and out.

Questing

If you're someone who needs goals then you can focus on the 2 assigned quests. Completing quests gives you bonus points and more resources.

Secrets

Buildings interact to give bonus points (or penalties!). Here's a hint to get you started: the more houses you have adjacent to a reservoir, the more bonus points you get. There's also an evil wizard named Kevin. You'll know him when you see him.
