The Basics

- When in doubt; build a fence. Estates larger than 6 don't give any points.
- If you're not the first one to finish a plan, consider creating parks (up to 42 points) and pools (up to 36 points).
- Estates whose value has been increased by real estate agents are often worth more than second-place points for a city plan.
- The distribution of numbers is as follows:

(3)  1s, 2s, 14s, and 15s. 

(4)  3s and 13s. 

(5)  4s and 12s. 

(6)  5s and 11s. 

(7)  6s and 10s. 

(8)  7s and 9s. 

(9)  8s.

- 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.
