Suburbia + Inc.

Ling Copy

Suburbia is a game full of interesting pacing and tradeoffs.

You try to increase income, reputation, knowing that moving down the population track too fast will ultimately diminish your reputation and income engine.

As one player jumps ahead in the population track, others feel the tension of keeping up with the Joneses.

Not knowing exactly when the game is going to end creates other interesting scenarios. Should you wait another round for that tile you want to be cheaper, or do you exploit it now at a higher cost?

You need to pay attention to your neighbors for end of game scoring bonuses, but also for effects their decisions can have on your own income.

The tiles that appear each game will be different, so you can't always guarantee the same strategy that worked one game will play out the same in a second game. You get to build something from what is available and make it work with what is in front of you.

Board game version of the computer game "Sim City". Success depends on balancing your economy and your rising population. The main problem is that there is a LOT of little things to remember to upkeep each turn (which is why it works easier as a computer game).
