Galactico

Players act as interstellar taxi drivers, moving a token around a circular set of eight stops to pick up and deliver passengers across changing routes determined by player count. On a turn each player takes four actions: move to an unoccupied station, add new passenger cards to nearby stops, disembark any number of passengers whose symbols match the station (with special rules allowing controllers to offload hares and paired Worthans to be discarded), and load passengers from the station up to a hand limit of six. Passengers score or penalize points at round end when an “end of shift” card triggers scoring; different passenger types award or subtract differing point values. The highest total wins.
