I played Suburbia for the first time over the weekend, and really liked it! Designed by Ted Alspach with art from Ted Alspach, Klemens Franz and Ollin Timm and published by @beziergames, Suburbia is a tile-laying city building game. Tile laying is one of my favourite mechanics, and simple accessible rules always get my vote, so this one ticked a couple of boxes before it even began 👍🏻 🏗🏢🏡 The game is essentially take a tile, lay a tile and work out any effects triggered on that tile and any adjacent tiles, but there’s a little more to it than that. You have to manage both an income and reputation track, which determines your population (which in turn are your victory points) as well as have both three open and one secret objective to aim for. 🏢🏠🏗 I’m always fascinated when games turn out to be nothing like I expected, and Suburbia was certainly nothing like I expecting. It’s almost a gateway game in terms of rules overhead, but the game offers a lot of strategic depth that isn’t apparent upon first glance. I’d say that this is something that really appeals to me in gaming: keeping it simple but delivering a rich experience. As I delve into game designing as a hobby, I find myself fascinated by these things! 🏡🏗🏢 A hit with me for sure, I’m looking forward to trying this one again! #suburbia #tedalspach #klemensfranz #beziergames #boardgame #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgaming #boardgamer #boardgamegeek #boardgamenight #boardgameaddict #bgg #bggcommunity #tabletop #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #boardgamephotography #boardgamesrule #boardgamesarefun #gamer #gaming #game #games #gamegeek #hobby #geeklife #boardgamesuk #tabletopgeek #analoggames #boardgamecollector #cardboardaddiction https://www.instagram.com/p/Bslf8DghiuM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hgx984l05e6z
