How to play
Line up the cars and count how many need a space.
Build the first floor: square tiles for walls, a big square for the roof.
Lean a long tile against the roof for a ramp up to the second floor.
Drive each car in. If one does not fit, build a wider bay.
Add a door tile that swings open, and close the garage for the night.
What it helps with
Make it different next time
- Build a car wash tunnel the cars drive straight through.
- Give every bay a number and park cars by number.
Cleanup: Cars drive out and back to their bin, then the garage comes down floor by floor.
