Believe me: the reason for that $60 price tag is at least partly due to shipping costs. The first thing I noticed about Sunrise City, before I even opened it up, was the sheer weight of the thing. Sunrise City still works as a game, but you wonder where those big-fendered cars are going to be driving.

But this gives you a big sprawling city that's full of sidewalks and canals, but no roads whatsoever. The game designers also made the decision to use canals and sidewalks on the tile borders: canals can't be built across on the first floor. That's a rule that doesn't have any sensible connection to real-life building, as far as I can imagine. For instance, you get bonus points for building an odd-numbered floor of a building, but not even-numbered floors. There are a couple places where the theme doesn't really seem to match the gameplay (though it doesn't really take away from the fun of the game, in my opinion). And the various roles that you can select do have effects that are at least somewhat related to their names: the Protester prevents players from doing anything to a particular zone tile the Union Boss gets points for any upper floor built by any player for a round. Some community centers offer bonus points when something is built next to it: placing Parks & Recreation buildings next to the Zoo, for instance, gives you extra points. Theme-wise, you do feel a bit like you're building out a city: zoning restricts what types of buildings you can build in certain locations, and you get points for buildings placed on lots where you own the rights. Finally, buildings are built up on lots (and on top of other buildings). Next, players bid on empty lots for construction. The city grows in phases: first, zones are laid out, expanding the foundation of the city. Cars with big fenders, men and women with hats and gloves, buildings with a lot of ornamentation.

Sunrise City has an Art Deco look, kind of an old Miami feel.
