Product Description
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 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 winner at the end of the game is the player with the largest population).During 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!Suburbia Review
If you liked Sim City the video game then this board game should be a home run for you.The basic premise is simple, each player represents a neighbourhood planner designing one of up to four different suburbs in the same city. Turns go around the table and players buy tiles from a common pool. Where it gets interesting is that many tiles give you bonuses for the total number of items on the board, for example, airports typically improve your income or population growth by +1 with additional bonuses for other airports that have been built. Not just other airports that you have built, but airports that anyone has built.
As your suburb in size it loses reputation (population) and income. This results in a great catchup mechanism. In addition to this there are public and private goals which increase end of game scoring.
The rules can be explained in under ten minutes and I have successfully taught this game to many people. I strongly recommend it.
