Big Ambitions is about turning small choices into a city-wide business chain: lease location, stock products, set prices, hire employees, protect the store, and keep the player running long enough to expand.
This guide is organized around those decisions. Prices and buildings work as reference pages; business, happiness, security, and mods pages explain what to do next.
