Plan, build, and develop a small town into a major metropolis.Suburbia Expansions does not include the base game and is only compatible with Suburbia 2nd Edition (printed after 2020). As your income increases, you'll have more cash on hand to purchase better and more valuable buildings, such as an international airport or a high-rise office building. As your reputation increases, you'll gain more and more population - and the player with the largest population at the end of the game wins.Plan, build, and develop a small town into a major metropolis. Use hex-shaped building tiles to add residential, commercial, civic, and industrial areas, as well as special points of interest that provide benefits and take advantage of the resources of nearby towns. Your goal is to have your borough thrive and end up with a greater population than any of your opponents. Suburbia is a tile-laying game in which each player tries to build up an economic engine and infrastructure that will be initially self-sufficient, and eventually become both profitable and encourage population growth. As your town grows, you'll modify both your income and your reputation. As your reputation increases, you'll gain more and more population (and the winner at the end of the game is the player with the largest population).ĭuring each game, players compete for several unique goals that offer an additional population boost – and the buildings available in each game vary, so you'll never play the same game twice! As your income increases, you'll have more cash on hand to purchase better and more valuable buildings, such as an international airport or a high rise office building. Overview: Suburbia is a tile-placement game for 1-4 players who plan and develop their own unique city borough. Gameplay: There are four elements that players track during the game. Population is essentially your current score, having the highest being the goal of the game. ![]() It is adjusted each turn by your current Reputation, ranging from -5 to 15. Thus increasing your Reputation gives you a steady rate of increase to Population. Money is measured in millions and is what you use to purchase new tiles. It is influenced each turn by your current Income, which functions the same as Reputation does for Population. Players take turns purchasing hexagonal tiles from a Real Estate Market, a line of random tiles which decrease in price the longer they remain available. Then they add the tile to their borough by aligning it next to at least one existing tile. The Market is refilled from a face down stack each turn. There are three stacks which will be depleted in order, tiles generally increasing in price and power as the stacks progress. Tiles represent various types of city elements, including residential, civic, commercial and industrial areas. When a tile is placed it will have effects based on its location, other adjacent tiles, tiles included in your borough, and sometimes, tiles included in opponents’ boroughs. These effects involve increases or decreases in Population, Reputation, Money or Income. Tiles’ effects are also retroactive, future placements can trigger effects from tiles that have been previously played. The effects make sense thematically, such as a Reputation penalty for building certain industrial zones next to residential areas or an income increase from a Farm whenever a new restaurant appears. The final stack of tiles contains a One Last Turn tile which announces the end of the game after all players have had equal amount of plays. Players adjust scores based on results of both public and secret personal goals that were assigned at the start of the game. The player who has achieved the highest Population is the winner. – Simple game mechanics make it easy to learn and keeps game play fast paced. –Ğxcellent graphic design eliminates need for game text in many situations. – Tiles’ effects make sense thematically and help you envision how your borough could exist. – Replay value kept high due to random element of which tiles are used each game. –Ĝity building is not most appealing of themes to hook new players.
