1. Introduction
Green cities are urban areas that are designed to be more sustainable and environmentallyfriendly. They have several advantages that help to improve the quality of life for their residents
and live more in harmony with nature. Some of the advantages of green cities are:
Green cities have cleaner air, which is better for our health.

Green cities have more parks and gardens, which are great places to play andexplore.

Green cities use renewable energy, which is better for the environment.

Examples of modern and transforming green cities are Singapore or Paris where more treesand green areas have been installed to transform the cities into a green city.1
On the Junior game field, the robot will help transforming a city to a greener place bysetting up new parks, helping people make a (roof top) garden and making use ofrenewable energy.

2. Game Field
The following graphic shows the game field with the different areas.

If the table is larger than the game mat, place the mat against the wall with the sides of thepark A and the water area.

Lake elements

Green elements

One possible position of the elements
Please note:
The green elements are always placed in
the front of the green marking on the field(because their base is 4x4) and the lakeelements use the full space of the green
marking (because their base is 4x6). The
lake elements are always oriented so thatthe yellow beaks of the ducks point towards
the centre of the game field. The flowers
are oriented parallel to the border, with thehigher leaf of the flowers pointing towards
the start area
