Bulletin! Mayfair Games announcements regarding Theme Starter Decks (first one: Chicago) and unlimited-edition cards.

* FAQs/Rules

Here is the quick-and-dirty HTML version of the official FAQ sent to me by Mayfair Games for distribution on this page. This version of the FAQ, dated 7/10/95, supercedes all previous FAQs and direct email answers given by Mayfair. The Text-only version is also available for download.

The HTML version of the Official SimCity Rulebook now has hyperlinks to relevant sections of the FAQ. Text-only version (without FAQ stuff) also available for download, printout, etc.

* Card Lists

I've got a bunch of lists here with different "features" so you can choose which suits your needs the best...

Official SimCity Card List Here is the official list from Mayfair, in tab-delimited format that is recognizable by many programs such as Microsoft Excel (it can also be read on-screen). Includes rarity information and additional info. To download, look for an option in your browser that says something like 'Save Next Link As...'

UNofficial Complete Card List in a different format, with the rarities of all the cards and vital statistics (# of sims provided, etc.), compiled by John M. Elston <elston@prairienet.org>. There are some discrepancies between this list and the "official" one; mail John if you can help clear these up! (Last updated 9/14/95)

This very attractive PostScript version of the official card list was kindly sent by Achim Kramme <iakramme@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de>. The gzipped version (.gz) is 201603 bytes; the unzipped version (.ps) is 1678602 bytes. Worth it!

The official Promo Card List contains information about all the promotional cards issued by Mayfair in magazine inserts and so forth.

Official card list for Chicago, the first theme expansion for SimCity: TCG! Chicago is to be released in December of 1995.

[NEW!] Hugh P. Blair <hblair@interaccess.com> has adapted the card lists to database format for all you PC users out there. The .zip file contains three files; the .DBF files are standard database files that can be imported into any program. OFFICIAL.DBF is the data in the official card list, UNOFFIC.DBF contains the data as provided by John Elston. The PROMO~1.SKC file is a Sidekick 95 file of just the promo cards.

* Deck-Building

Robert Stone <ranma@anime.net> has created some Solitaire Puzzle Decks for those times when you just can't find anyone else to play SimCity with. His Puzzle Page contains his puzzles and the rules to play 'em by.

If you are looking for some hints on how to build a deck, Bill Ingram <bing@its.bldrdoc.gov> has put together a resource for you.

Tom Skovronsky <maralj@aol.com> sends this listing of all the cards that fit into certain complexes, to make your theme decks much more complete.

And, of course, the Deck-Building section of the FAQ.

Randy Bohn <rbohn@novell.com> has sent his Petrolia Deck to commemorate a little town in Texas.

Coming Soon... Sarah's Theme Deck #1: Trashville

Card Acquisition If you need cards to complete a deck or a set, and have some cards to trade, look at the SimClassifieds, which is an informal listing of people with cards to trade. Please note that I take no responsibility for the accuracy of information here; this is just a springboard to get you communicating with other SimCity traders on the Net. Mail me your trade list if you want to be included!
