About this deal

This is mitigated slightly by the fact that the market board is in multiple pieces that can be placed together like I have pictured, or you can separate it and place the sections whenever you have room on the table. Possibly More Downtime at Higher Player Counts Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame.

However, the provision of such an attractive community facility lands you with a financial burden (-1 Income). But this is balanced against the money-making capacity of your Heavy Factory (+1 Income). A couple of other significant actions are possible during the game: placing Investment Markers and turning tiles from the REM into Lakes. Had it been designed slightly differently, Suburbia could very easily have ended up as a ‘multiplayer solitaire’ game in which each player simply gets on with doing their own thing with very little scope to affect or be affected by the actions of opponents. However, the way in which the REM works (including the possibility of taking tiles as Lakes) does provide at least some scope for directly manipulating or restricting the choices of your opponents, while the presence of the hidden Goals forces players to keep a close eye on one another and form appropriately reactive strategies.

When the "1 More Round" tile is drawn, each player takes a final turn, then the game ends. [2] Players determine if any objectives have been achieved and adjust their borough's population per the objective's criteria. [2] The winner is the player with the greatest population, which is the game's victory points measure. [2] Reception [ edit ] By placing new tiles into their boroughs, players can either gain extra money and population directly, or manipulate their levels of Income and Reputation to affect how much of these resources they gather at the end of each turn. As we’ve already seen in the case of the Community Park and Heavy Factory, the effects of some tiles depend on what lies adjacent to them.

Suburbia also comes with a few main boards and a dual sided player board. The two sides was a nice touch because it allows players to either build their borough going down or going up towards the center. This may be helpful for gamers with spacial limitations. Suburbia, from Bezier Games, has had a massive facelift in this collectors edition that finally looks as good as it plays. This massive box not only includes the base game but the existing expansions, promo and more. Plastic ‘Game Trayz’ inserts are used to store the game and make set up as easy as possible.a b c d e f g h Holmes, Andrew (6 February 2020). "Suburbia". Meeple Mountain . Retrieved 16 November 2021. Always be aware of what’s in your opponent’s cities, you can influence them and they can influence you Focus on increasing your income early. You get paid out each round, so increasing this early means more money over time.

In the mid-to-late game, it’s all about judging whether your financial position is strong enough to stop concentrating mainly on effects that yield money / income and switch your focus over to effects that boost population / reputation. Timing when and how to make this switch is one of the most interesting and subtle challenges in the whole of Suburbia, and one of the reasons I enjoy the game so much.

Sure, players that enjoy drafting or optimization will already be in love with the game. But my favorite part of Suburbia is that it brings out my inner child who enjoyed designing his city in Sim City all those years ago. Planning and building your borough in Suburbia can be incredibly entertaining and a joy to do. Sometimes during the game, I find myself getting attached to my little piece of the city. I’ll see myself avoiding the factories because I don’t want the pollution in my neighborhood. The theme is something that’s incredibly accessible and something most people are probably familiar with. Final Thoughts: Suburbia is a fantastic game that has found a permanent home in my collection. We have not reviewed this game yet but we can tell you that it is one fantastic city building game, with a theme that may seem mundane but not at all. The interesting balance of your options and the bonuses you get based on your clusters of industrial, commercial or residential areas makes for really fun gameplay.

The game also comes with very good player guides which act as a “cheat sheet” to remind you of the steps to take on a turn and what to do when placing a tile.
