About the game
What you do in a play session
Suburbia: Con Tiles is a thematic expansion that brings the world's five biggest board game conventions into your Suburbia base game. Imagine adding tiles representing iconic events like Gen Con, Essen Spiel, and BGG.CON to your suburb — each with unique effects on your economy and reputation. Compatible with the 5★ expansion, these tiles were originally distributed as promotional items at the actual conventions (or via pre-order), adding a layer of collectibility and customization to your city-building experience. Perfect for fans who want a dash of geeky meta-humor in their games.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game to play?
Yes, it's an expansion requiring Suburbia (or Suburbia 5★ to use the stars).
How many players does it support?
1-4, same as the base game — the tiles don't change player limits.
Is it worth it if I don't attend cons?
Still! The tiles have fun mechanical effects, but the thematic appeal is stronger for con-goers.
Where can I find these tiles now?
Tricky! They were 2015 promos, but might pop up in secondhand markets or collector groups.
Does it drastically change the base game?
Not really — just 5 extra tiles with situational effects, mostly adding thematic flavor.
