PLAYED FOR YOU

Paris Connection

Track building in France

You build railway lines in France – each connected city enhances the value of the respective companies – and try to own as many shares as possible in successful companies.

At the start of the game each company has an engine in Paris; then each player draws 10, 8, 6, or 5 engines in case of 3, 4, 5 or 6 players out of the bag and places them behind his screen. The remaining engines are sorted by color and placed on their respective storage boards. In your turn you must choose one of two actions, you cannot pass a turn: You must either build track or swap engines. In order to build track you take between 1 and 5 engines off the storage board and place them on the board. There can only be one engine in a city and only up to two engines of different colors in a square; you cannot place engines on the Eiffel Tower or on the starting squares; you cannot cut off a color completely and cannot build across dotted lines. Then you score for each newly placed engine according to the landscape or city square where it was placed. By swapping engines you change you share in companies; you return an engine from behind your screen to its board and take 1 or 2 engines of another color; there is a limit to the maximum number of engines you can own. When there are only engines of one color left or when a track reaches Marseilles you score for the engines behind your screen. If you own more than the allowed maximum number you must deduct 20 points for each surplus engine.

An transition by simple means, from limited to unlimited, from SCNF to Paris Connection, from Winsome to Queen.
