Description
- Build the city of your dreams with a board game that feels a lot like SimCity
- Each player creates their own city, one building tile at a time
- Dozens of different building tiles that all interact with each other
- The resulting cities tell a story, from run-down abandoned towns to thriving metropolises
- 1-4 players, Ages 13 and up
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!
Gameplay
Build the city of your dreams - one building at a time
In Suburbia, you and your fellow players are city planners, placing unique building tiles in your small borough, slowing turning it into a mega-metropolis complete with residential, commercial, industrial, and civic areas.
A boardgame version of computer city simulation games
If you've ever played some of the popular city simulation games on your computer, tablet, or console, you'll feel right at home with Suburbia as you watch your city grow, generating income and keeping your overhead low.
The buildings interact with each other in ways you'd expect - for instance, build a school next to a factory, and your city's reputation will be hurt. But place a mansion near a lake and watch property values rise!
The Cities You Create Tell Stories
When the game is over, your city will have a unique, fascinating personality of its own.
What's in the Box
Over 100 building tiles
Build Farms, suburbs, factories, restaurants, schools, skyscrapers, and more, and watch how your city starts to benefit from what your opponents are building.
Easy-to-learn rules
The rules are simple: Each turn, buy a building and place it in your city. Each building does something different as shown by the simple iconography on the tiles.
Gorgeous Wood Tokens
The colorful wood tokens help you track your income, score, and your city's reputation. And there's a giant skyscraper to use for a 1st player marker. ..so you'll always know who went first.
