Cardboard Town has a charmingly aesthetic and hand-drawn art style, but you aren't just mindlessly placing buildings to make a pretty skyline; you are actively managing a complex economy where every decision matters. Every card you play impacts your delicate balance of Water, Electricity, and Safety.
