1987 Channel Tunnel

Players command competing British or French construction teams racing to connect a tunnel under the Channel. The game centers on advancing a tunnel-boring machine toward a central meeting point while managing worker placement, technology development, and funding acquisition. Actions are taken by playing portions of a personal tower of colored discs; played segments become unavailable until a taller tower is placed on them. Rounds end when both players pass, discs are returned to the bag, and a new round begins. Scoring occurs when the tunnel center is reached, awarding points for technology progress, held cards, and how closely machines stayed on course.

    Did like it although it feels too random for an eurogame and heavily on rails. It has really cool ideas and I think it could get better over time, but wouldn't suggest to play it
