I hope Rodney's video lures more people to the wonder that is Suburbia. It's easily my favorite game, and likely my most-played since getting into the hobby. Fantastic all around.

One thing I love about theses videos is how Rodney says: AND... that's the setup!
Another great tutorial video!

[michelea]

The timing of this tutorial is creepy (good creepy!)...I was just searching for Suburbia tutorials last night and this morning and was saddened that there was no Rodney!!! Thanks for this perfectly well-timed video!!!

[joesolo]

I've been back and forth of this one for a while now. Been leaning to the "yes".

thanks for the great overview, Rodney!! your videos are some of the best tutorials out there!!

I love that SimCity has had a long lasting effect on all city building games that have come after it in the colour of zones.
Suburbia, Small City, Cities Skyline all use the same Green/Blue/Yellow for
Really want to get the Collector's Edition of Suburbia.

No matter if you already own the game, you always learn new things from Rodney. Thanks

[jurds]

Just picked this up and a convention swap meet. Glad to see a tutorial from you and can’t wait to get it to the table!

[madthinker]

No matter how old the game is, Rodney still delivers the most comprehensive and efficent how to play in the biz.

[AnthonyGii]

Can't say it enough—but super66b videos, Rodney!

There's so much skill involved in explaining rules clearly. Voice pitch, hand movement...

Ordered the game and can't wait.

Just discovered this game thanks to a catalog in the copies of Blueprints and Castles of Mad King Ludwig. Love the production value of this company's games too. Addictive gameplay loops too, even in Solo....

[thecommuterzombie]

This was really handy and helped me remember how to play after not getting it to the table in a while. Just got to work in the expansions now...

[daemnfaust]

Mindful graphic design overhaul did this game good

[krazykorean]

Just got this game! Can't wait to play it 😁

[muzzysticks]

This is such a great game, and boy does this edition look so much prettier than the original one i have

[henriwhitehead]

Great video! I’ve always been interested in this one.

[livethenlearn]

Love this tutorial! I always send people to your videos when playing a new board game. Picked this one up thanks to this video as well! Any chance on getting a “Nemesis” tutorial?

[leahlane]

Thank you for this video! Any idea if you will be doing a video on the game Living Forest anytime soon? Thanks, again!

[frankduty]

Thanks Rodney! Have you considered producing a Watch It Played video for Ark Nova? We need it, Rodney!

[teejleague]

I've never gotten a chance to play this one, but I know it is regarded highly in the gaming community!!!

Rodney, We just had a big argument over the placement of tiles next to other tiles and how you make adjustments. Say for example, you placed a Lake tile next to an Office Building and a Mint. After taking the actions from the tile being placed; ie the Lake tile, you then take the action of the Office Building and the Mint that are next to the Lake you just placed. Is that correct? Or do you just take the action of the Office Building or just the Mint or neither or both.
