Read the full game description
BUS is a compact pick-up-and-deliver game about balancing speed, passenger capacity, and a city that rivals can reshape. Each stop offers a card with two customers, but taking passengers slows the bus by the card’s value. Drivers score by passing the matching destination while carrying its passenger, and construction actions swap road tiles to disrupt efficient routes. After five passenger cards, the player who converted the best sequence of pickups and drop-offs into points wins.
