It's quittin' time in the Big City, and all the hardworking people want to get home to their families! Cooperate with other players to build routes and get six Commuters from the Big City to their homes in the Suburbs. Mass Transit is a clever, fast-playing, cooperative, limited communication game for 1-6 players featuring dual-use cards. You must play two cards each turn, and you can play cards in two ways: - To build roads, canals, and rails, or - To move the buses, ferries, and trains from one station to the next. Players must work skillfully together, but the twist is that communication is limited: players cannot tell each other what cards they have in their hands or share their strategies, so planning moves is tricky! —description from the publisher Contents: 1 Big City board 52 Mass Transit cards 6 Commuter pawns Game rules
