Bus
Route buses through a growing city — a genre-defining classic
Who it's for
Euro historians and Splotter fans who want to experience a foundational worker-placement design. Best at 3-4 players.
Not for you if…
Not for players who expect modern polish or want a forgiving game. Dated production and cutthroat competition.
Vibe's take
Mean, tight, pioneering, brain-burning
About this game
Pioneering worker-placement game from 1999 by Jeroen Doumen and Joris Wiersinga. Players operate bus routes in a growing city, manipulating time itself and competing for passengers in a tight, mean design that helped define the genre.
