Streetcar Suburb (2022)

About this game

Transform an unsustainable suburb into a diverse, affordable, and walkable town. Remove single-family housing limits to let the citizens build, then connect buildings with streetcar lines of your own color to score points. What is uniquely awesome about this game? Minimalist crayon rail game with 1-page rules on the scale of a town rather than a continent. The town is procedurally generated in 3D as the game progresses. Transform an unsustainable suburb into a diverse, affordable, and walkable town. Streetcar Suburb has no luck or hidden information, and rewards strategic play. The randomized setup is neutral to both players, ensuring that every game is both unique and fair. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
