Description

Transform a an unsustainable suburb of single-family houses into a diverse, affordable, and walkable town. Remove legal housing limits to let the citizens build, then connect buildings with streetcar lines of your own color to score points.

  • Watch the town grow in 3D
  • Minimal components and rules - fast to learn and play
  • Draw rail lines directly onto the board with your marker

This video shows cubes from the print-and-play version; the GameCrafter version comes with plain wood cubes.

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. With mechanisms drawn from crayon rail, cube rail, and connection games, Streetcar Suburb appeals to fans of euros, train games, and abstracts.

Players remove single-family housing limits from the board and place building cubes on the empty spaces, then draw streetcar lines directly onto the board with dry erase markers. Each house you take scores 1 point per building cube of the same color connected to your streetcar line. But, the houses you leave on the board will control the color and height of the new buildings, so you must choose carefully to maximize your score.

To try the game right now, visit streetcar.drew-edwards.com for online and print-and-play versions.

NOTE: Streetcar Suburb doesn't include a retail box inside the shipping box. Since it's not being sold in a store, it doesn't make sense to add $15 to an $18 game just to put another box inside the box. If you want to keep all of the components in a box, please use the shipping box or another box of your own choosing.

Notes

  • This game contains a premium upgrade called UV Coating that makes the printed components more durable.
  • This game does not come in a box.
  • This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
