For some, the one-time fee is unacceptable for others, the notion of a recreational facility is not appealing. Objections to the recreational facility come from various quarters. To finance the proposed recreational facility, every Peaceful Valley household would be expected to pay a one-time fee of $500, and annual fees would increase to $250 based on facility maintenance cost estimates. Currently, every Peaceful Valley homeowner is billed $100 annually for maintenance, security, and upkeep of the development. Construction cost estimates range from $1.5 million to $2 million, depending on the size of the facility.
The Suburb Steering Committee has recommended that the community build a swimming pool, tennis court, and meeting room facility on four adjoining vacant lots in the back of the subdivision. Peaceful Valley has not been living up to its name in recent months. Peaceful Valley’s residents are primarily young, professional, dual-income families with one or two school-age children. Now Peaceful Valley is fully developed with 50 streets, all approximately the same length with about 120 houses on each street. The lake became the centerpiece of the development, and the first 1,000 half-acre lots were sold as lakefront property. The subdivision came about 10 years ago when a developer built an earthen dam on Peaceful River and created Peaceful Lake, a meandering 20-acre body of water. Located on the outskirts of a large city, the suburb of Peaceful Valley comprises approximately 6,000 upscale homes.
Upon reaching each marker, the player loses a point of income, to reflect the greater costs of municipal services, and one point of reputation, to reflect an increase in crime and pollution accompanying greater density. The population board has a number of red markers at various points. The turn is completed by sliding all tiles in the real estate market to the right and adding a new tile at the leftmost position. The income a player collects is based on their position on the income track, and the population adjustment is based on their position on the reputation track.
An investment marker is used to double all values printed on a tile already placed in the player's borough. A tile is obtained from one of the seven tiles in the real estate market by paying its face value cost (if it is one of the two rightmost tiles), or its face value cost and an additional positional cost (for the remaining five tiles). On their turn, players execute four actions: obtain one tile or investment marker and place it in their borough, collect income, recalculate their borough's population, and add a new tile to the real estate market. Upon achieving a personal or public goal, the player receives a population bonus. All players must also achieve a set of public objectives, the number of which is based on the number of players. Once the game setup is complete, each player chooses a personal objective from two random draws. Each player adds a population marker to the population board. All players start with a Borough Board, adjacent to which are arranged three hex tiles (one Suburbs, one Community Park, and one Heavy Factory), $15 in coins, and three investment markers.
