About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! Ready to get your hands dirty and build the most efficient streetcar network? In Streetcar (or Linie 1, for those who appreciate the German original), the mission is clear: each player secretly receives a set of stations they need to connect. Using track tiles, you'll collectively build an urban network, but with a well-defined personal objective. The twist is that while everyone builds the same network, each player has their own secret stations to visit. After laying down your connections, it's time to speed up the trolley! The first player to complete the journey between the terminals, passing through all their secret stations, claims victory. It's a game that blends strategy in network building with an exciting race. Think carefully about where to place each tile, because the path you open can help or hinder others (and yourself!). With rules that have been adapted across its various publications, this 1995 gem offers a tense and fun experience. Ideal for those who enjoy route-building games and a good planning challenge with a racing element. Who will be the master of the tracks in this city?
