On the Underground: Paris / New York puts each player in control of several colored transit lines. Spend up to four actions extending track or securing branch tokens, then watch the shared passenger choose a route that minimizes walking while visiting the current destinations. You score both for building through valuable spaces and whenever that passenger rides your network. The two double-sided maps pull strategy in different directions: Paris rewards careful sets, secret objectives, and blocking, while New York pushes a faster race through Manhattan and across water.
