Newtown is a city building game designed to be used as a modern teaching aid in leading university city planning departments. Students play individually or in teams. Players take turns buying land and building on it. Earn points for placing homes near schools and churches, factories near water routes and railroads. At the end of each round, town meetings are held to pay taxes and vote on the locations of community facilities (from schools to dumps)The game was originally published in 1967. A simpler version, which is much more common, was published in 1972. - BoardGameGeek
