On the Underground

London, a map, and a handful of Underground lines to build. In On the Underground each of you runs a company that lays tracks, with two to four lines depending on how many players there are. On a turn you build four pieces of track in any of your colors, and every piece has to extend a line, or you can use two branch tokens, earned by reaching terminus stations or skipping a build, to split a line. You score by connecting lines to the destinations on the board and by having passengers ride them from station to station. The winner is whoever best balances those demands when the destination deck runs out. A tidy, thinky route builder, about an hour.
