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.

Perfect for fans who want a dash of geeky meta-humor in their games. ## FAQ ### 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.
