![]() The turn is completed by sliding all tiles in the real estate market to the right and adding a new tile at the leftmost position. The population board has a number of red markers at various points. Upon reaching each marker, the player loses a point of income, to reflect the greater costs of municipal services, and one point of reputation, to reflect an increase in crime and pollution accompanying greater density. When the "1 More Round" tile is drawn, each player takes a final turn, then the game ends. Players determine if any objectives have been achieved and adjust their borough's population per the objective's criteria. The winner is the player with the greatest population, which is the game's victory points measure. In a review for Board Game Quest, Tony Mastrangeli states that the art and design are "really well done" and the artwork to be "colorful and thematic". He also states that the game involves a "decent amount of player interaction" and has substantial replay value. Īndrew Holmes, in a review for Meeple Mountain, states that the game is "balanced and it's brilliant". Quintin Smith said it is a "masterfully designed game" in his review for The Guardian and that he would "happily recommend. Jon Seagull, in a review for Boing Boing, stated that there is little luck involved in the gameplay, but that "keeping track of the interdependent effects" of various tiles could be tedious. Aaron Zimmerman stated in Ars Technica that the app eliminates some of the "tedious bookkeeping" of the physical game. The expansion set Suburbia 5 Star was poorly received. Suburbia was one of five recipients of the 2013 Mensa Select award.A nice surprise in my email a couple of days ago came from Bezier Games.Īfter over a year of having just the Kickstarter “Collector’s Edition”, Bezier Games has now announced that a 2nd Edition of its classic game, Suburbia will be coming to stores on March 24.įrom the pictures, it looks like it will be the same artwork as the Collector’s Edition, but without all of the bling that was attached to that. It is kind of hard to tell from the pictures provided in the email, but it does look like Collector’s Edition artwork. It will have the double-sided scoreboard which was the big draw from the Collector’s Edition (the one that came with the original edition was really hard to use) as well as the updated artwork and GameTrayz storage. ![]() In addition to all of that, Bezier will be offering Suburbia Expansions, which will include the new Nightlife expansion that came with the Collector’s Edition as well as various small “Con” expansions (Essen and Cons). “This box is also organized with GameTrayz™ and made to be combined with Suburbia 2nd Edition by removing the foam and extra cardboard in Suburbia 2nd Edition’s box. “ The Expansions box will have its own GameTrayz storage that can be included in the base game box, as stated in the email. I have to say that while this is very cool, it kind of makes me regret springing for the Collector’s Edition on Kickstarter. I still haven’t played that, mainly because the storage has really intimidated me and because it’s a huge box that’s hard to take to game days (and now game days aren’t happening anyway). ![]()
