:- When in doubt; build a fence. Estates larger than 6 don't give any points.<br />
:- If you're not the first one to finish a plan, consider creating parks (up to 42 points) and pools (up to 36 points).<br />
:- Estates whose value has been increased by real estate agents are often worth more than second-place points for a city plan.<br />
:- The distribution of numbers is as follows:<br />
<p>'''(3)''' 1s, 2s, 14s, and 15s. <br>'''(4)''' 3s and 13s.<br> '''(5)''' 4s and 12s.<br> '''(6)''' 5s and 11s.<br> '''(7)''' 6s and 10s. <br>'''(8)''' 7s and 9s. <br>'''(9)''' 8s.</p><br />
:- It's easier to work from ''outside in'', i.e. play very high and very low numbers first to leave more opportunity to fill the middle squares.<br />

'''Effects'''<br />
:1. Pools (3 to 5, start early)<br />
:2. Parks (10+, max out blocks)<br />

:5. BIS (last 4 or 5 houses)<br />
<br />
'''Numbers'''<br />
:A) Less common numbers (1-4, 12-15)<br />
