Who it's for

People who enjoy route drawing like Ticket to Ride but with pens and puzzle-like shapes. Great with three or four.

Not for you if…

You want a lot of direct interaction. Everyone draws at once, so the conflict is about claiming spots.

Vibe's take

Everyone draws the same shape yet ends up with a different city, so you glance at the others and swear when someone takes your spot. Calm but a bit competitive.

About this game

Get on Board: New York & London is a route-drawing game where everyone builds the best bus line on a shared central board. Over twelve rounds, a card reveals a route shape that each player must draw, so everybody places the same shape, just in their own spot. You pick up passengers by connecting them to their destinations, dodge traffic, and chase victory points. Since everyone draws from the same shapes, the game is about spatial puzzles and racing for shared spots rather than luck. It plays two to five, is best with three or four, and takes around half an hour.
