Heropolis

From BoardGameGeek:

Heropolis is a humorous yet strategic building & adventure game, in which 2-4 players take on the role of heroes and win the favor of the citizens with their heroic deeds. The ultimate immersive board game, full of surprises. Playing time approx. 40-90 min.! Slip into the skin of a funny Heropolian and find out if you too are a little everyday hero. Provide your fellow citizens with an new metropolis, discover long-abandoned neighborhoods and fill the "News" with your headlines! Together, you protect the townspeople from "Rocktopus" and "Crocodealer" or make off with the latest "high wheels"! You will be rewarded with stars for your good deeds. Whoever collects the most stars at the end of the session becomes the "Hero of the Day" and wins the game! Victory or defeat are decided through victory points. You come to the victory points through various game actions like: Constructing buildings, fighting enemies, soloing Missions, photographing landmarks, etc. Due to the "Rondel-Mechanic", Heropolis can be strategically planned, but can also easily get beginners into the game. These simply choose one of the three possible actions, while the strategists are planning their actions far into the future. -description from the publisher
