Let's play Tramways @ Phoenix Comics!

Let's play Tramways, a deck- and route-building train game where you pick up passengers and deliver them to different buildings. Designed by Alban Viard (Clinic, Small City, numerous Age of Steam maps).

In Tramways, each of the six rounds are divided into two halves:

• During the first half of a round, players compete to acquire the best development cards to create their most efficient deck. An original auction phase also determines turn order — and being the first player increases your stress level.

• During the second half, they play a train game, using their deck to try to build a great network between the different buildings of Small City. They try to move passengers without stressing them during the transit, in the end obtaining happiness points, which is the aim of the game.

Players of all experience levels are welcome! I'll do a teach will be provided prior to the game.

I'll bring a short 30 minute bonus game, Trick of the Rails (BGG), to play after the game if we have enough time.

We will be starting the teach at 6:00PM, so be on time! Capitol Hill is a very dense urban area and parking can be difficult to find. If you're driving, please plan to arrive early so you can be on time.
