Blue Orange | Next Station - London | Board Game | Ages 8+ | 1-4 Players | 25 Minutes Playing Time

Product Information

Your actions are simple: starting from your current pencil color station, and viewing the action’s current card shape (circle, square, triangle, or pentagon, aligning with the station shapes on each player’s sheet), players must draw a single line along the gray pre-printed lines from one shape to one matching the currently flipped card. On future cards, you’ll only be able to draw lines from one of the two ends of your subway line. If you can’t or don’t want to draw a line, you could pass, but your score will likely take a hit as a result.

To use a very British expression, I thought Next Station – London would be my cup of tea. I do like a roll and flip and write. Yet I was still surprised and impressed with the game inside this little box. I can see this being taken travelling with us a lot and hitting the table as a little warm up or filler game regularly. Exception: When a Railroad Switch is flipped over, a new station card is flipped. Players may draw a new section starting from ANY station on their line connecting to a station with the revealed symbol. Hornsey, including Highgate – Communications | British History Online".

The game includes a simple Beat Your Own Score solo mode. In a multiplayer solitaire type game, there is no reason why it cannot be played solo. And although I usually like an AI to gun for, I am very happy simply trying to optimise my own network.

Gameplay

London to Birmingham: Euston station offers direct services to Birmingham New Street station, the largest railway interchange in Birmingham. Trains on this route provide connections to various cities and towns in the West Midlands and the wider region. Make sure you visit fashionable Notting Hill and its colourful Portobello Market, pay a visit to the elegant West End entertainment district and shop till you drop on the famous Oxford Street. The city’s museums and galleries are among the best in the world and so are its restaurants and clubs! The famous London tube connects the city’s many sights and travelling on the Underground is an experience in itself. The color of your pencil for the current round determines your departure station. Look for the station matching the color of your colored pencil. This player is drawing their purple line this round. They will start their line at the purple Departure station. Build Your Underground Line The rulebook was nice and clear. I understand why thematically they made it a fold-out pamphlet like a tourist guide, but I think I would’ve preferred a booklet. There is an awful lot of rulebooks included, great for different languages but they fill up half the box and do feel a little wasteful perhaps. The four pencils do the job. London to Manchester: Euston station provides direct services to Manchester Piccadilly station, a major transportation hub in the north of England. Trains on this route offer convenient connections to Manchester Airport and other destinations in the Greater Manchester area.

This one is definitely one that will get laminated and added to my permanent keeper box of XXX and writes – at this point, Dunstan might end up with an entire box alone devoted to his games! I live in Tennessee now, but I did not always. I used to live in Illinois. I have never been to London, nor any part of the United Kingdom. I was hoping that I would still be able to enjoy a game based on the Underground metro that runs beneath the city of London. Sure, I have toured Europe previously, and it was amazing. My wife has been to Europe as well, though separately from my trip. We both would love to make a trip, and I believe we will soon. Will we ride the tube? Yes. Will we visit one or more of the Doctor Who Experiences? ABSOLUTELY. Until then, I will pretend to redesign the Underground lines in this game. Sometimes all by myself. If you can't access that symbol (or you don't want to), you do not draw a connection. The 6 Street cards also contain symbols which work in the same way. In there somewhere, however, is also a handy switch symbol that lets you split off from any station on your current line to the symbol shown on the next flipped card. For this objective card you are trying to create Interchange Stations (a station that two or more Underground lines connect to). To complete the objective you need to create at least eight different Interchange Stations.Next Station: London features a relatively simple ruleset and action design space. The game plays from one to four players in about twenty-five minutes. Each player is given a sheet featuring an abstract map of London with thirteen districts displayed as a grid. Within these grids are symbols that represent stations, as well as some that feature compass points to designate them as tourist destinations. Two different color sets, one of which is the round time. You want to see blue drawn if you’re to expand that line!
