Each tile has its own base cost, but additional costs are incurred according to the position of each tile in the REM. Whenever a tile is taken from the REM, the resulting gap is filled by sliding the remaining tiles to the right and adding a new tile at the extreme left. Playing Suburbiaĭuring the game, players purchase new properties from a row of seven tiles known as the 'Real Estate Market' (REM). Every single tile in Suburbia has an effect that feels undeniably "right" in terms of what that tile is supposed to represent and how it should relate to its surroundings. The point I really want to get across is that Suburbia is not one of those games where the theme feels pasted onto a bunch of abstract numbers and mechanisms which could have easily been imagined to represent something else entirely (or nothing at all). But this is balanced against the money-making capacity of your Heavy Factory (+1 Income). However, the provision of such an attractive community facility lands you with a financial burden (-1 Income). Even so, the Community Park offers your citizens a pleasant buffer between the bordering industrial and residential zones, giving the aesthetic appeal of each of these regions a compensatory boost (+2 Reputation). However, the presence of heavy industry right next to a civic area is not an appealing juxtaposition (-1 Reputation). Your Suburbs provide a place for citizens to live (so you get +2 Population). Heavy Factory (an industrial tile yielding +1 Income but giving -1 Reputation for each adjacent civic or residential tile).Įven at this early point in the game, you can already see the elegance with which Suburbia's city-building theme is mirrored in its mechanisms. Suburbs (a residential tile giving +2 Population)Ĭommunity Park (a civic tile yielding -1 Income but offering +1 Reputation for each adjacent industrial, residential or commercial tile) Each player starts with an identical set of three tiles, laid out in a line: These hexagonal tiles are colour-coded to indicate their types: green for residential, yellow for industrial, grey for civic, and blue for commercial. At the end of each turn, players gain money according to their level of Income, and population according to their level of Reputation.ĭuring their turns, players can spend money to extend their city boroughs by purchasing and laying down new tiles in front of them. Much of Suburbia's gameplay revolves around the accumulation of two things: money and population. In the game, players control and develop their own individual city boroughs, competing to see whose borough will boast the largest population by the end of the game. Suburbia is a game for up to four players ( or five players, using the 5* expansion), designed by Ted Alspach and published by Bezier Games in 2012.

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! 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). 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 town grows, you'll modify both your income and your reputation. 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.

Your goal is to have your borough thrive and end up with a greater population than any of your opponents. 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.
