In Block Sprawl, players spend AP to draft from separate permit and plot markets. Permits
define what can legally be built, while plot cards define the shape that must fit on the
city grid. Merging permits can unlock bigger districts, but it can also narrow the zoning
options and make the placement harder.
Once a district reaches the board, adjacency bonuses, forbidden neighbors, row completions,
and column completions decide whether the move pays off. District Reviews arrive on a set
rhythm, so players are always weighing a better future placement against the pressure of
surviving the next review.

Short description
Block Sprawl is a single-player tactical city-builder where permits decide what you can
build. Fuse permits and plots, stack Tetris-like districts, and survive milestone
reviews that hit every 10 turns. The game will be shown through Steam Next Fest and
Steam's Deck Builder Festival.
Boilerplate
Block Sprawl blends card strategy, spatial planning, and city-builder tension into one
tight loop. Players draft from split markets, fuse permits into legal zoning windows,
build high-value neighborhoods, and unlock role and policy effects that can reshape a
run. The game is part of Steam Next Fest and Steam's Deck Builder Festival.
