A short easy-to-learn tile-placement boardgame. Paris 1900. The world's fair is in full swing throughout the city, but amid the revelry, strange scaffolds are appearing and the streets are being excavated, creating long and deep tunnels. The construction of the Metro Paris system is underway. The object of the game is to make your rail lines as long as possible while shortening your opponents' lines. However, players score double for city connections, which are the stations in the center of the board. It is probable we will get 2 games completed in the time allotted.
