About Death Estate
Ghosts want to move into a 15 by 15 plot and every one of them wants a different house. First you drag straight road lines onto the grid, then you place each arrival's house shape so that it touches a road, stays inside the plot and overlaps nothing already built. Score is one point per grid tile a house covers, and the run ends when nothing more fits and the three skips are spent.
