Idea of the game:
The city of XAGA seems to have come to a standstill. The city needs new impetus in order to give the city a vibrant future. How can one persuade investors, the citizenry and visitors to give the city development renewed energy?

The municipal authorities of XAGA have a wonderful idea:

All interested inhabitants and/or investors are given some pieces of land in the city. Furthermore, to enhance the renewal of the city building materials (plasticine) are provided. From this, new buildings and green areas, interesting ideas and projects are implemented. Then, if the publicity is right, the first curious visitors and inhabitants come to look at everything. Each player takes on the role of inhabitant as well investor. By actively engaging in both roles the players ensure that the city of XAGA becomes a vibrant city once more.
