On the Underground: Paris / New York

Step into the bustling world of public transportation with On the Underground: Paris/New York, where you’ll craft the iconic Métro lines of Paris or the renowned Subway lines of New York City!

In this dynamic board game, players take on the role of transit organizers, controlling 2-4 distinct lines based on the number of participants. With each turn, four destination cards are presented, showcasing various stations throughout the city.

Players have the opportunity to take up to four actions during their turn. Actions include:

• Building Track: Strategically place your track tokens on the board to expand your transit network.
• Branching Out: Utilize branch tokens to extend an existing line, going beyond the typical endpoint limitations.

After each player’s turn, a passenger token elegantly navigates your created lines, minimizing the need for walking as it aims to reach one or two predetermined destinations. Once the journey is complete, the visited stations' destination cards are refreshed, ready for the next player's turn!

Scoring is key, and players can earn points in two exciting ways:

• Create connections with your lines to various station types, collect landmark tiles (in Paris), snag connections over water (in New York), and accomplish secret objectives by the end of the game (in Paris).
• Ensure your passenger utilizes your lines during their travels!

The game wraps up once all destination cards have been drawn and each player has completed an equal number of turns.

Delve into the Paris map, a thoughtful design brimming with strategic potential. To clinch victory, find the perfect equilibrium between collecting token sets, connecting secret destinations, and maneuvering around other players, all while ensuring the passenger reaches their stops efficiently.

Alternatively, embrace the New York map, teeming with fast-paced, exhilarating action that mirrors the vibrant life of the Big Apple. Here, players must act quickly, constructing lines throughout Manhattan to keep pace with the ever-moving passenger!

Whether you prefer an intricate challenge in Paris or a swift race in New York, On the Underground: Paris/New York promises an unforgettable gaming experience for board game enthusiasts!
