Great game, medium app – SUBURBIA City Building Board Game Review

Random notes: -- Tutorial is incomplete. It gives a very basic understanding of game/interface, but leaves off important details like income and reputation go down when population increases. -- Single player campaign is an interesting challenge. Recommended. -- Single player campaign is frustrating because there are no saves. Switch apps for too long and you will be reset. -- The tile, income, and population are all computed at once. This is a good use of technology, but is bad for learning the game. I spend most of my time trying to figure out why the numbers are changing. I usually fail. -- That said, the tile scoring summary would be greatly improved if (a) moved so it doesn't cover other tiles, and (b) gave more icon information like it does for the population speed bumps. -- Can't do anything during another player's turn. Instead of disabling everything, only disable the two rows of the market. — Async games act weird. - (minor) I don't like the white background, especially at night. Something darker with some texture might contrast the hexes better. - (minor) The plus signs are difficult to distinguish from minus signs (iPad mini retina). - (minor) Wish there was an option to have the borough board be at the bottom so that the suburb grows up. The board game allows this. - (minor?) Allow players to choose between two secret goals. The game itself is good. Very puzzle like.
