Metro

Objective: In Metro, the objective is for players to build the longest possible tracks for their trains by laying track tiles on a game board to score the most points. Tracks can be directed inside the board or towards various stations around the edge.

Setup: - Place the game board in the center of the table. It shows a grid of squares where track tiles can be placed. - Each player chooses a color and takes the corresponding trains. The number of trains depends on the number of players. - The trains are placed on starting points around the edge of the board, marked with the chosen color. - The track tiles are shuffled face down, and each player receives a certain number of tiles on their hand.

Rules: 1. Gameplay: - Each turn involves two main steps: placing a tile and scoring points. - Players take turns placing one track tile on the board, ensuring it connects to an existing tile or the edge of the board. - After placing a tile, players check to see if one or more train lines have been completed.

1. Scoring:
2. When a line is completed, the player scores points based on the number of tiles included in that line.

3. Some versions of the game provide additional points for reaching certain stations or fulfilling special conditions.

4. Special Tiles:

5. Some tiles have special functions, such as switches that allow changing the direction of the tracks, offering more flexibility in track building.

6. End of the Game:

7. The game ends when all tiles are placed and no more moves can be made.
8. The player with the highest score wins the game.

Strategic Tips: - Plan ahead and be aware of how the other players' lines are developing, using opportunities to block their points. - Use special tiles wisely to gain more points or to shorten opponents' tracks. - Try to keep your paths within the board as long as possible before they exit to maximize your score.
