Trans Europa

Players race to link a personal set of five cities spread across a map of Europe by laying track segments onto a shared board. On each turn a player places one or two rails, with special colored rails available that count only for the owner. Ferry spaces require two rails to be completed and permit mixed placement of colored and neutral rails under specific rules. Rounds end when a player connects all five of their cities; scoring penalizes slower players. The game plays over several rounds and the overall winner is the player with the highest cumulative score.
