Working theaters with active shows boost your Culture rating. No other form of entertainment affects the Culture rating.

The city has an “overall” need for entertainment, beyond that needed to provide access for individual houses. It is perfectly possible for m o re citizens to have access to a venue than could ever possibly fit inside it! Good overall coverage enhances the entertainment available to each individual neighborhood.

The Entertainment Advisor can show you how many of each type of amusement are working, how many total shows are available, how many citizens are served and the overall adequacy of entertainment. If any type of venue is rated “below average” or “poor,” use the Entertainment overlay to decide where to erect new buildings.
