Trambahn

Munich, late nineteenth century: the new tramway is a hit, and two rival companies want the contract to extend it. In Trambahn you lay out a grid of cards, and every card can do three jobs: it can be a passenger on a tram, a suggested stop on a new route, or money to pay for that route. Stops must match colors and go up in ascending order, but only passengers riding that line bring victory points, so you juggle building and filling. It is a two-player card game with scoring that resets between rounds, and the cards are made to look like old postcards of Munich's streetcars and historic sights.
