Get on Board

Get on Board is a fun flip and write where you’re trying to create the best bus lines. 

Just like every trip, you are fascinated by the other passengers on board, each has different destinations and this bus line is truly special…

Safely transport passengers and strategically leave your opponents stuck in traffic as you plot the ideal route. Win this urban strategy game by gaining the most points. 

How to play
There are 12 rounds to build the best bus line in town. Each round has four phases:

1) New bus ticket
Each round, the inspector reveals the top card of the bus ticket deck and places it face-up on the discard space. Each player then crosses off one of the two boxes of the matching colour at the top of their play sheet - this dictates the route they will plot in the next phase.

2) Plot route 
To do this; place route markers creating the shape of the route, also following the route creation instructions. (don’t double back!) At this point you will need to;

• Avoid traffic jams as much as possible
• Speed up your ETA with green lights
• No doubling back on yourself

Then you can board the bus! For each passenger or place you reach with your markers during the plot route step this round, cross passengers off your list that correspond to the passenger markers on the board.

3) Check common objectives
Review to see if you have finished any common objectives this round.

4) Change inspector!

To end the game, count up your points following the guidelines, the highest score wins!
