Tracks connecting stations
1898 - Construction or the Metro Paris. The board has room for 60 track tiles and is surrounded by 32 numbered station spots for Metro tiles; each player has a set of Metro tiles and places them on the stations, as per template.
The active player places his tile or draws a new one and must place this - in correct orientation and next to the board edge or to a tile on the board. A line cannot not connect two stations with only one tile between them. When a station is connected to a line, the line is scored and gives the owner one point per tile; lines to the middle station count double. When all lines are scored and all tiles placed, you win with most points.
This revised new addition adds four modules to the core game: Module 1 introduces stock companies, you hold shares of some of the eight companies - all are always in play - instead of owning Metro tracks and can place tiles or swap shares for majorities. Line scores count for the company and you score for majorities in companies. Module 2 introduces additional stations for the central station area, for additional tracks. Tiles from Module 3 cover the central station area. In Module 4, number tokens for the stations are distributed to players and you score points for tracks to stations of which you own the station number token.
As interesting and challenging as the first edition of 1997. You look for the best compromise in the dilemma of either extending your own lines or obstructing your opponent. Without modules, the core game offers a very good game to families with some gaming experience; with the modules Metro is an attractive tactical game for experienced players.
