cities !

The
municipality will finally designate the winner
by decisive Test-Trips.
Who has then the most direct lines ?
Interactivity,
reflexion, speed :
a real dream (or nightmare) of subway |
SUBWAY
Metromania is a placement and connection game which simulate the
building of a subway network.
The game board show a city with housing, work, and leisures places.
Their disposition is different with each new game.
The player who will connect these places with the quickest and
efficient lines will earn many points... and win !
WORK
Each player is a subway building company and digs two separate
subway lines across the city. The lines are traced by placing on the
city grid triangular counters with a colour line along one side. The
stations are built when two lines meet. It's really simple - yes,
not so realistic ! - but challenging and very natural to play.
SLEEPING
AT HOME ?
No way ! Players hardly compete in the jungle of the subway
lines which grow all together. They must at the same time take a
lead in the best ways, try to benefit from the other lines to place
stations at the strategic spots, and guess themselves, in advance,
the fixed trips which will give points. And, as the city is not
infinite and the network often very dense, the risks of loss of
control, deviation, or worse, blocking of a line, are permanent :
tension guaranteed !
FUN
Metromania is a game of tactic and reflexion, with only a little
bit of luck. But without excessive thinking or calculation : some
imagination and opportunism will also make great winners …
Reversals of situation, winner only known at the last time,
ingenious game mechanism, easy rules and fast games : yes, you will
become a Metromaniac !
