About the game
What you do in a play session
The game puts you in charge of the BundesAutobahn Organisation, where every decision matters. It's not just about laying down asphalt! You'll need to facilitate the transport of goods to neighboring countries and construct strategic petrol stations to profit from the traffic flow. Each section of road you add earns you a seat on the administrative boards of the highways, granting you more income at the start of each game phase. As the game progresses, your board members climb the ranks, occupying more prestigious positions within the Bundesautobahn building, which translates into victory points at the end of the match. Planning is key to optimizing your efficiency! Building your reputation opens doors to new departments and scoring avenues that align with your winning strategy. The cards in your hand are your action tools, allowing you to intervene on one of the seven main Autobahns. You'll need to think carefully and act at the right moment to make the most of your hand before you need to collect your cards back. Get ready for an economic strategy game that demands long-term vision and solid resource management!
