Freedom Town is a strategic board game about the struggles navigating cities and suburban sprawl pedestrian infrastructure that are hell to live without owning a car. Designed for 2-4 players who embark on a journey to reach the train station at the end of the board. Set in a suburban town where biking and bus infrastructure is lacking, players must navigate through the neighborhood on foot, overcoming various challenges and obstacles along the way. The game combines elements of strategy and luck as players try to not die while walking to the train station.
