Vibe's take

A clean route-planning puzzle where your network grows organically and gets prettier as the game goes on. The overlap of tracks creates quiet tension about who gets to a station first.

About this game

A route-building puzzle about running a futuristic subway. You lay hex tiles to connect stations and carry workers and robots from pick-up to drop-off, upgrading your network as you go. The clever bit is that your tiles are transparent, so your track can overlap your opponents' lines and the map ends up as a tangle of colorful routes, like a real metro diagram. Robots improve your abilities and give you personal goals to chase. Two maps are included, Manhattan and Berlin, there is a solo mode, and the whole thing takes about ninety minutes.
