The Verdict
based on 28 reviews
“But kind of plain and simple, the Suburbia is a great game, I mean super awesome, seriously. I would honestly say that you need the Five Star expansion if your group plays more than four people.”(5:55)
“This game folks, this game is something else. It may look dry from the outside but inside this box of hexes and points are stories of soaring skyscrapers, restaurant chains, glorious parks and the citizens that live in your suburbs.”
“It's still a game that is likely to appeal a great deal to people who like things that feel like SimCity.”
“In conclusion, I am a huge fan of Suburbia and it is most certainly set to remain a long term feature on my gaming shelf.”

“Suburbia offers both an engaging mechanical puzzle and integrates it with a compelling theme, alright, that by itself is a huge achievement, so few games manage that, but then just to do that in a funny way, it's incredible.”(11:08)
“Suburbia hits on so many things I love about board games that's hard at [finding] not impossible to find flaws in the design. It's strategic yet approachable, it has really nice tactile pieces that form a cohesive theme, it feels rewarding when you make smart decisions.”(4:54)
