{"product_id":"on-the-underground-london-berlin","title":"On the Underground: London \/ Berlin","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe London Underground is the world's first underground passenger railway, having opened in 1863. Its 11 lines move about 5 million passengers a day to 270 stations, along 400 km (250 mi) of track.\n\nThe massive network of London Underground stations makes up one of the most complex transportation systems in the world, and On the Underground challenges you to develop it. Build the most successful lines, connect them to landmarks, and attract passenger traffic!\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tGameplay OverviewIn On the Underground, the players build the Underground lines in London or the U-Bahn lines in Berlin. Each player controls 2-4 different lines, depending on the number of players.\n\nOn each turn, four destination cards are available, corresponding to stations on the map. You can take up to four actions; an action is either building track by placing one of your track tokens on the board or taking a branch token. A player may use two branch tokens to branch out of an existing line (whereas normally lines can be extended only at the endpoints).\n\nAfter each player's turn, a passenger token is moved along players' lines, avoiding walking as much as possible, to reach one or two destinations determined at the beginning of the turn. The destination cards corresponding to the visited stations are then replaced by new ones, then the next player takes their turn.\n\nPlayers score points in two ways:\n\n\n     By building track and connecting their lines to various types of stations, by building a circular line (in London), or at the end of the game if they have collected tiles from specific landmark stations (in Berlin).\n     By having the passenger use their lines when moving.\n\n\nAfter all destination cards have been drawn and all players have taken the same number of turns, the game ends.\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tDifferences from the First Edition of On the Underground\n     For their first turns only, the player first in turn order takes three actions, and the player last in turn order takes five actions. (Previously, everyone other than the start player had a few points added to their score as a balancing mechanism.)\n     The passenger is no longer removed from the board immediately when the draw deck is empty.\n     There is a new Berlin map, along with its corresponding cards and tiles.\n     On the London map, these single connections have been made double connections: Paddington-Shepherd's Bush, Shepherd's Bush-Goldhawk Road, Goldhawk Road-Hammersmith, Waterloo-Borough, London Bridge-Bank, Stratford-West Ham, and West Ham-Canning Town.\n     On the London map, this double connection has been made a triple connection: Borough-London Bridge\n     On the London map, the New Cross station has been removed, as has the connection between Aldgate and Canada Water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.32 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sebastian Bleasdale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LudiCreations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51909464195288,"sku":"SB-6E2DCB4545FC-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/yvwvbhel2zdwj5oa4iht3v0kw58q.jpg?v=1785459914","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/on-the-underground-london-berlin","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
