Pencil Park is a "roll-and-write" game in which you must build your city one shape at a time. Each turn, you roll three dice. You must choose one of those dice as the shape you will fill in on your city map. The sum of the remaining two dice determine which type of development will fill that shape. Use your space wisely and avoid overlapping shapes!
