About the game
What you do in a play session
Visit NYC: The Subway Racing Game is a wild race through the New York subway, where chaos and strategy collide. Each game starts with all players trying to get from the same point A to the same point B—but the path? That's where the fun begins. With movement cards, you advance through subway lines, make transfers, and, of course, mess with others using setbacks like delays, breakdowns, and even medical emergencies. The fastest route at the start might turn into a logistical nightmare by the end. The first to reach the destination wins, but don't expect it to be easy—opponent interference is the spice of the game. And yes, it's officially licensed by the MTA, so get ready for the authentic NYC subway experience!
