In Welcome To..., players are 1950s architects competing to design the best suburban town. This card-based game replaces dice with three card piles that create shared action combinations. Choose a house number and matching action each turn, filling streets numerically while building estates, parks, and pools for points. Race to complete public objectives first to win.
