This is a
game where each player work to build a city. You construct buildings of
different types trying to balance out population growth and income in order to
stay afloat. Suburbia was described
to me as the board game version of Sim City, which I found to be a very fitting
description. The main goal is to construct the city which ends up with the
largest population, but in order to get population you need to stay on top of
both population and income growth as they will decrease as your city expands.
This is
another one of the games I bought off another member of my gaming group, this
one I hadn't even heard of before, but I looked it up on the web to see what
kind of mechanics it had, and since it was worker placement, I decided to get
it. Thankfully, when this one came up at a game night, one of the other people
already knew it, so it wasn't up to me to teach them. In Dos Rios you are manipulating two rivers by building dams, so that
the water will flow to areas occupied by your player pieces or houses in an
attempt to get money and/or wood.
