The blue and the pink cards have different layouts, so my anal-retentive gamer friends have all sorts of conniptions trying to figure out how to lie out the cards as they are flipped up so that the important parts can be reviewed. It’s really up to you, but it’s almost never a bad thing, since you have so many options for where to split the line. When the 5th Underground card (pink and yellow background) is flipped, it signals the end of this round. e., going back through a station already forming part of that line) – I always knew the Circle Line in London was dodgy! Each station after this must be drawn from either end of your line and must connect to a station with the same symbol as shown on the flipped over station card.

After a while, I’ll admit that they all felt a bit same-y, and my enthusiasm for the genre diminished a bit. The game will be played over 4 rounds, and in each round, players will only draw the specific line that matches the pencil in their hands. On future turns players can extend from the end of their specific coloured line to an additional symbol.Score as many points as you can by optimising the routes of the four underground lines on your map in London. I kind of like that from a consistency standpoint, and it makes them all look good together, even if they have very different styles. I’ll probably just bring some markers with me if I bring this game places, rather than dealing with pencils (and possibly-broken pencils).

I would have preferred more options for the maps, but maybe that would have increased the cost of the game. Add either Shared Objective cards or Pencil Power cards into the mix, or even play with both sets of cards!That said, they are only worth 10 points for completing them; this may end up actually paying off more.
