Sprawlopolis
*****
Ever since an X-Files knock-off of Circle the Wagons introduced me to the microscopic realm of Button Shy wallet games, I'd been particularly intrigued by this erratic urban planning puzzle, and I finally saw it for a bargain price (along with the expansions and sequel), so I didn't have to settle for a buggered-up print and play. The hype I'd built up for this 18-card microtropolis was deserved, as randomised goals and ongoing obligations merge and clash to create an ever-changing solo challenge that I even win occasionally. It may be less enchanting than solo classic Onirim, but it's a lot less hassle.
