Simcity is a game that I played at school. It is about running the town that you have created. You start off with a certain amount of money which is $100 000 dollars. You fix the town up so people will move there and then you work with keeping the people in your town. I started off with a small town and I kept working my way up to make a city. You can make the city or town as big as you want it to be. You add some societies like a police station, a hospital, some stores, a school, make some roads for people to drive on, and homes for the people to live in. People will start moving in soon. The larger you make your town or city the more people you get. Technically you don’t want to use all of the money that you have. You don’t want to make the taxes too high or the people won’t pay them and they will move out of the town.

As the mayor it is your job to keep the town in good shape and clean. It is kind of a big job to control the town or city that you have made because you have to control everything that you have going on and you can’t run out of money or else your town is gone. You have to look at how much money you are making and how much money you are losing because you have to pay for the things that you have bought every month and your making money every month so figure out how much money you are making a month and how much money you would be losing for that month. When I played I was losing alot of money!

I find playing Sim City a good way of learning things about what the mayor deals with and also what it is like to be a mayor.
