Build A Lot Game

This is another game I have played last year which I would like to share.  The goal for this game is like the name - “Build a lot”.  Buy the land and build the house as soon as you can.  This is another good time management or casual game. 

How to play

The interface turns almost every chore into a one-click action,  you will able to focus on managing money, materials, workers, repairs and blueprints without distraction. To build a house all you have to do is click on an empty lot and then select the construction of what kind of building you want to build.  You could see the level goal in the right top screen.  

Income is based on the value of each lot you own, so upgrading houses to a more lavish setting will increase the rent and raise your cash flow. 

You must looking at your material make sure you have enough material to continue build or upgrade your house.  Also, sometime you may need to hire 1 or more worker help you on the construction.  

Different level will have different special tasks to achieve.  Some level will request you to build a Workshop, Library, Post Office and etc, which will not have any monthly rental but the value will add after you have complete the game.  Before construct any type of house or building, you need to buy a blue print.

In the goals, sometime it same that need 4 house, but you only have 3 lands by default.  Then you need to buy a land or house when there has someone would like to sell it.  Your success as a real estate mogul depends on the choices you make, and Build-a-lot throws some tough ones at you each level. Empty lots and complete houses pop on the market at seemingly random times and must be purchased quickly before they fade. But what if you don't have the cash? Even if you did, should you expand or focus on improving your current properties? Micro decisions such as this spill into managing your workforce and materials and add up to a game with a surprising amount of strategy.

Below is the table for you to reference for the building/rental cost by each type of house.

Tips:

  1. Upgrade house to more starts are more profitable.  So always upgrade your house to be more star.  You will get more rental.
  2. Always upgrade your house before it get the rental.  Else you will miss it.
  3. If you have build a workshop, then you will get 50% discount on hiring a worker.
