Description:


Paris, 1898. The construction of the Metro in Paris has begun. Who will build the longest Metro line? One hundred years ago today: The eve of the 1900 World's Fair is approaching, and excavations are taking place across the city. Bizarre-looking scaffolds arise everywhere. Tunnels are built in the streets to later be covered with earth. Take part in the construction of the Paris Metro!

1. Everyone places their Metro cars onto the stations located around the game board. Summary sheets indicate which stations belong to each player.

2. Players take turns placing track tiles onto the board. The choice is difficult: do you lengthen one of your own lines, or aggravate your neighbor by shortening one of theirs?

3. Once a line is completed, it is scored. Each tile the line passes through is worth one point. If the line ends in the middle of the board, the points are doubled! Once all lines have been completed, the game is over and the Metro-builder with the most points wins.

Metro - English Version rating: 5/5 stars Great For kids

This game is a great entry level tile laying strategy game for children simpler than Catan that my 4 yr old can play not just my 6 & 7 yr old.

Metro - English Version rating: 1.5/5 stars Good friends

You need good friends to enjoy this game - it's not really that strategic. It's more a game of chance.

But it is fun in the right settings.

Metro - English Version rating: 4.5/5 stars Excellent game

I have played this game quite often with friends. It can be played faster than other games (like Catan etc). With less players it is a more strategic game, but even with 6 it is still amusing.

Metro - English Version rating: 1/5 stars Crap

Not only was I completely confused, but it caused zero brain stimulation. The combination of boredom and confusion led me to one conclusion: this game is crap.
