The Block
Paul Schnepf · published by Future Friends Games · released Dec 16, 2022
The Block is the world's smallest city builder. Place randomly generated buildings on a square and build up a tiny but perfectly formed city block! It's a very small game - more of a tiny little toy with no goals or challenges - hence the very small price :)
