A reworked edition of the tile-laying classic Metro. You place square track tiles to extend cable car lines, and the longer a route runs before it reaches a station, the more it pays. The catch is that everyone is building on the same tracks.
Who it's for
Groups who enjoy abstract tile laying with direct interaction, and tables that want a clean puzzle without a rules lecture.
Not for you if…
You dislike having your plan ruined by another player or want a theme that actually matters, because the trains here are decoration. Metro owners will find little new beyond the stock variant.
Vibe's take
Quiet and sharp-elbowed. Turns are one tile long, but a single placement can wreck a route somebody has been growing for ten minutes.
