In "Sunrise Lane", players take on the role of construction companies trying to build a residential area. To succeed, they must choose prestigious plots where they can build houses and urban structures.

The game board depicts a grid of squares, each showing 1-5 dots in a single color. Each player has a set of colored house pieces, where the colors have no relation to the squares on the board. During a turn, you either draw 2 colored cards from the deck and add them to your hand (with a limit of 5 cards in hand) or discard cards to place a building and then draw a card.

When building, you must build adjacent to an existing structure (or the central square at the start of the game). You must discard 1 or more cards of the same color as the dots in the square where you want to build. You can discard 1-5 cards and place 1-5 of your house pieces on this square, earning you points equal to the number of dots multiplied by the number of house pieces you placed. You can build multiple buildings during a turn as long as you build your next one adjacent to the last one you built.

When a player has 2 or fewer house pieces remaining, the game ends, and players count their final scores. Two of the areas award points for the tallest buildings and the other two for the most buildings. Additionally, the player with the longest group of adjacent buildings receives extra points.
