Player guide
Ranks
There are 14 ranks, from Rookie to City Legend. Each promotion opens more of the city and more ways to make money.
How you earn XP
Almost everything you do earns experience: prospecting, pitching, negotiating, buying buildings and owning them month after month. The big earner is closing deals: a bigger deal pays more XP, up to a cap that rises with your rank, so no single deal skips you past a rank. The Fast learner perk (see Career and score) adds 20% to all of it.
When you cross a threshold, a promotion card arrives with confetti and a list of what's new. Claim the promotion to take it. Each promotion also pays gems for the skill tree.
Every rank
You start as a Rookie in Downtown South, with 35 buildings open to you and 3 actions a month. XP is your career total.
