In 2024, Blue Orange Games brought the Parisian version of the already known Next Station series, which already includes London and Tokyo. The premise is simple: you receive station cards, flip them, and draw metro lines on your map. But the charm lies in the details: bridges, famous monuments such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre‑Dame Cathedral, and the central station, the busiest point in the network. Each line drawn can earn end‑game bonuses, and the goal is to optimize four routes that cross the districts of Paris. The game combines bingo (marking patterns on the cards), connections (linking strategic points), line drawing, and network building, all with paper and pen. In 25 to 30 minutes, up to four players can compete, and even someone who has never seen the metro map can quickly understand it. The components include 200 drawing sheets, 24 cards, 4 colored pencils, and illustrated rules. If you enjoy quick challenges, iconic metros, and route‑based scoring, Next Station: Paris is the perfect pick. ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime?
