Metro

Like Tsuro, Tantrix, and Spaghetti Junction, Metro is a thrilling board game where players place square tiles on the board to create rail lines. Unlike Streetcar, the goal here isn't to build short, direct routes. Instead, you aim to make the longest rail lines possible. Start with trains around the board. When you connect a train to a station (either at the edge or in the center), remove the train and score one point for each tile the route crosses. A single tile can score multiple times if the track loops. And here's a bonus: you get double points for city connections, the stations in the middle of the board.

To play Metro, first, set up the board and give each player a set of trains to place around the board. Then, take turns placing square tiles to build rail lines. Your main goal is to make these rail lines as long as you can. When you manage to connect a train to a station, remove that train from the board and count the number of tiles the route crosses to score points. Remember, if the track loops, a single tile can earn you multiple points. And keep an eye out for city connections in the center of the board, as they'll double your score. As you play, handle the tiles gently to avoid any damage. After the game, store the tiles and trains in a box or container to keep them organized and in good condition. Have fun building your rail networks!
