📖 About This Game
Compete with other players to create seamless connections across the San Francisco Bay Area, and build a dream transit system for the Bay Area.
In 30-60 minutes of game play, 2-5 players compete to create an integrated transit network to help Bay Area residents and visitors travel seamlessly around the region.
Strategically place your homes, jobs and activity centers to create a more Seamless Bay Area. Multiply your impact by cutting transfer delays and installing dedicated bus lanes. The player who builds the most connections wins!
Initially setup with the current situation of city and transit delays, then use dice to pick where to put housing. Each turn the player has ways to remove transfer delays or to place more homes, jobs, or activities. Score is based on how closely connected those homes, jobs, and activities are, not just to one player's set.
