A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Toy Builder Factory is anything but tiny. Games resembling checkers were being played thousands of years ago; evidence of related games reaches back to around 1600 BC. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. SimCity grew out of Will Wright's enjoyment of the map editor he had built for an earlier game; the act of shaping a city became the game itself. Not bad for a few facts hiding behind a Play button.
