Read the full game description

Bus & Stop is a brisk card game about balancing a crowded bus against the value of a well-timed delivery. On a turn, a driver either picks up every passenger of one colour from the shared stop or drops off a group matching an available destination card. The bus holds only ten passengers, so easy pickups can become a costly trap. Larger deliveries make a destination more valuable, while senior passengers score immediately and opponents may use the Skedaddle reaction whenever someone completes a drop-off, turning another player's success into a small opportunity. The passenger deck and shrinking destination display control the end of the route, and an empty bus earns a depot bonus. With simple pick-up-or-drop-off turns and open information, the fifteen-minute game remains accessible while rewarding timing, hand management, and attention to rivals.
