## Rules questions

### How exactly do I calculate my line's total points at the end?

Multiply the number of different districts your line crosses by the number of stations in the largest group within a single district, then add points for Thames crossings and any points from tourist sites, Shared Objectives, and Pencil Powers. (page 1)

### How do I count districts — and is there a maximum number I can count?

Count how many different districts your line passes through; London is split into 13 districts and if your line passes through 13 or more you write 13. (page 1)

### How many points do Thames crossings give — is it per crossing or per section?

Each section of your line that passes under the Thames scores 2 points (i.e., count each separate Thames-underpass section). (page 1)

### How do tourist-site stops score and is there a limit to those points?

At the end of each round count tourist sites on your line and cross off that many circles on your tourist-site tracker, but you may cross off at most 10 circles during the whole game (ignore any beyond the maximum). (page 1)

### When do Shared Objectives score and can I score the same objective multiple times?

The two Shared Objective cards are visible for the whole game and if you meet a card’s condition at the end of a round you score its points; each Shared Objective can be scored only once per player. (page 1)

### When is a Pencil Power active and what if I don't use it that round?

At the start of each round reveal one Pencil Power card and it is active for that round for all players; if you don't use the Pencil Power during that round it has no effect and is discarded. (page 1)
