What the game is about

You start in a quiet American suburb with almost nothing. Mow lawns with a riding tractor, trim hedges, collect garbage and sweep the streets, keep your machines fueled, and turn your earnings into houses you buy and rent out. Play solo, or host a world and work the neighborhood together with friends in online co-op .
