Ted Alspach's city builder Suburbia [$4.99] is one of the best board games on the App Store, and now it's finally available for the iPhone after a universal update. If you haven't heard of or played Suburbia, this pretty good port of the award-winning board game has you building your city by placing hexagonal tiles with various buildings next to each other. While that might sound like a simple mechanic, the way you match those tiles has a huge impact on how your population grows and how much money is left in the bank. A few wrong moves, and you'll be broke before you know it.

The game comes with over 50 different buildings - stores, airports, suburbs, museums - and with various scenarios that keep the game challenging.

If you're into board games and haven't had a chance to grab Suburbia, you should probably remedy that mistake soon.
