I've been playing this game for almost a year, and I have 3 active cities. In my primary city, I am almost through chapter 8, and I have to say that completing chapter 7 was a game changer! Things are happening much faster than before, and I am having so much fun! This game is NOT pay-to-win, and the first player to the finish line is not necessarily the winner. Also worth noting is the math skills learned and honed with the ever-changing city layout!
