So I had never heard of Uplands until today when reading about the new contest on Publish0x.
I instantly dove into the beginner guide Upland has and got my 5 min tutorial.
Then I signed up and got stared (really excited!).
I got my sign up bonus of 6,000 UPX and I was feeling pretty good. I picked Fresno as my starter city since it’s got some cheaper properties.
I fully intended on having a strategy but totally bought the first property I could find! (Ugh!)
As I looked more into the “Collections” section of the game, which gives property bonuses I realized you could very easily get two Collections almost instantly.
If you look in the Fresno suburban areas there are plent of properties for around $1000 on the same street. With 6,000 UPX you could easily buy 3 on the same street. This would qualify you for the King of the Street collection.
I feel a little silly missing out on this but I have only been playing for like 1 hour, oh well. Hope this helps someone new to the game!
