Summerhouse Review – Less is more in this wistful, holiday destination building toy
You know that Simpsons episode where Homer designs a car? When I first began playing SUMMERHOUSE, my first ‘summer houses’ looked like Homer’s car. Why would anyone give me, someone who lives in a house but otherwise knows nothing about architecture, the resources to create something so ugly? SUMMERHOUSE is a sandbox toy, like Townscaper, in which you place house-related pieces onto one of four landscapes: frosty mountain, lush meadow, urban sprawl or desert. There’s no game, just creative exploration.
