Product Information

With so many railway games to choose from a board, game enthusiasts may view On the Underground as just another route laying game. The additional mechanics of scoring points, only if the passenger travels on your line, is a new mechanic. This phase has several turns according to the station cards that are flipped over by the controller. On each turn draw a line to complete a section of their line with their coloured pencil – making sure they are following the construction rules. (don’t forget special stations)

So hang on to that strap and get ready for a fast and furious race around the sights of London's capital. It's easy to play and great fun, time and time again.Once you have played a few times, you can move onto the advanced module that has more gaming options and tougher challenges.

However, what you wouldn’t know from the outside is that it is actually home to one of the bigger collections of board games that we know of in a London pub.

The accompanying booklet contains details on how to play the game, a list of every station in the central area, including which train lines that they are on, and factual information on the history of the underground.

There is a rule about subtracting 10 points if you use an advanced module. And I must confess that this is the only rule which I don’t find too clear. So, I just inflict a negative 10 points for each scoring objective not achieved or for each pencil power used (if adding them into my game). This could be too harsh, but always play hard or go home! Strategic Stations If a player has collected enough of the right colour Transportation Cards they can claim a route on the board by discarding the number of cards equal to the number of spaces required. They then place their coloured plastic buses on the route between two locations and immediately win points based on the Route Scoring Table printed on the board. The longer the route the more points you get.If you can’t access that symbol (or you don’t want to), you do not draw a connection. The 6 Street cards also contain symbols which work in the same way. In there somewhere, however, is also a handy switch symbol that lets you split off from any station on your current line to the symbol shown on the next flipped card. The game ends once all of the destination cards have been drawn. The passenger will visit about half of the underground stations as they will visit at most two of the four displayed destinations on each turn. The player whose lines have attracted the most journeys and have gained the most points is the winner. On The Underground Players take turns moving their tokens along the routes, aiming to reach their destination stations. Playing with young kids, you can use “beginner rules” to make the game a bit less complex and easier to understand as you’re only using a bus or taxi to get around London. In the first few rounds, it’s a good idea for the grown-ups to be Mr X, so the kids have time to get confident in how the game works.
