About game to air ratio. The one thing I dread about this game is this. Comparison with Raiders of Scythia, in the other end of the spectrum.
A tourist and some locals at the beach. It's worth at least 3 sandcastles.

Overview

In Santa Monica, you are trying to create the most appealing neighborhood in southern California. Will you choose to create a calm, quiet beach focused on nature, a bustling beach full of tourists, or something in-between to appeal to the locals?

Each turn, you draft a feature card from the display to build up either your beach or your street. These features work together to score you victory points. The player with the most points wins!

—description from the publisher

German: In Santa Monica versuchst du, den attraktivsten Strandabschnitt in Südkalifornien zu schaffen. Entscheide dich für einen ruhigen, stillen Strand, der sich auf die Natur konzentriert, einen belebten Strand voller Touristen oder etwas dazwischen, das die Einheimischen anspricht?

In jedem Zug ziehst du eine Spielkarte aus der Auslage, um entweder den Strand oder die Straße in deinem Abschnitt zu erweitern. Aber nur, wenn Straße und Strand aufeinander abgestimmt sind, bekommst du genügend Siegpunkte, um das Spiel zu gewinnen!
