Build a city that fits in the palm of your hand.

When it comes to city builders, bigger is usually better. Just look at Cities: Skylines, which lets you construct massive, sprawling, skyscraper-filled cities—which somehow still weren't big enough for players, who were thrilled to find a mod that allowed them, a city builder that launched on Steam today,smaller. In fact, developer Paul Schnepf calls it"the world's smaller city builder" and after checking out the trailer above, I have no reason to doubt that claim.

In The Block, you begin with a small square of land with a single structure already placed right in the middle. At your mouse pointer is the next structure ready to be placed, provided it's adjacent to that first structure in the middle. You can rotate each object before placing it, and the next object must also be touching something that's already on the grid. You build from the middle outwards, in other words.

The objects to build and decorate your city with range from houses to towers to trees of different varieties, and there's some lovely little detail in the very tiny towns you build, like benches, parks, and lampposts. There are several different map sizes to play with in The Block, from an extremely tiny square to a relatively big one .
