About this deal

And the map is shared, creating a comedic list of issues as players’ routes all run into each other. The Tube is the world’s oldest underground railway, launching in 1863, and is now one of the most recognisable features of London as a city – and one of the most distinctive soundscapes in the world. I was a little surprised by the sheer volume of rules inserts – although they do fold out like an underground map which is cool! The main interaction between players here happens between rounds as you pass pencils around the table.

Next Station: London can also be enjoyed in solo mode and o nce you have played a few times, you can move onto the advanced module that has more gaming options and tougher challenges. Interestingly, in the solo game on Board Game Arena, you can play a Solo Challenge that’s pre-generated, which is pretty cool! The Central Station is an omni-connector; it may be worth trying to get there to get the Interchange bonuses.Score bonus points for the leftmost uncircled Tourist Site on the bottom of your score pad, and score bonus points for Interchanges! Which is no small task bearing in mind all the simple sounding but impactful restrictions and general/advanced scoring objectives. The station cards come in two colors, blue and pink, representing the street-level stations and the underground stations.

Although the box caters for one to four players, you can easily combine two games to make it up to an eight player game and it takes no longer to play.

If you are playing this game with the family at the beach, the base game will be enough especially since you won’t play this more than a few times. You must draw your line along one of the existing dotted lines, and you connect directly to a station that matches the card just drawn, without passing over any other stations or any previously drawn lines, regardless of color. Well, then you’ll need to hope for a wild if you want to reach that circle tourist site—don’t forget! Once you are used to the game, and you start to play with the pencil power cards and the shared goal cards; this also makes you approach each game in a different manner; different enough that I haven’t tired of it yet!

Splitting your line gives you a third (sometimes a fourth, with Pencil Powers) way that you can expand. Going too far in the other direction, hitting lots of stations in a small area, will punish you the other way. There will be a few occasions where you can’t go, but this is much more likely to be because of your own actions than because of the flip of the card.However, one twist that Next Station: London has is that you’re each filling out a different color, which means you won’t end up with the same map, and you can’t copy each other.
