METRO X
Casual Game Insider|Winter 2022
A fantastic flip-and-write game, Metro X is a clever puzzle that will leave you wanting to try again as soon as you reach the end.
METRO X

Each player takes a game board showing nine different metro tracks, with a metro car on the left. Each metro car has two-to-three windows, and each track is made up of multiple spaces. Some tracks will meet at various intersections on the board.

Every turn, a card is drawn from the transit deck. When it is a number card, every player writes that number in an empty window of one of their metro cars, and then starting at the leftmost empty space on that car’s track, they mark off spaces until they have marked off the number shown on the card or until they reach an already marked off space. A skip card works exactly the same way, only players are allowed to skip over previously marked spaces rather than being forced to stop at them. The transfer cards have you mark off a train window, and then find the closest space on that line where multiple tracks meet. You count how many tracks meet there, double that number, and then write it down in the space. If a train does not have any empty windows you cannot use its track for the number, skip, and transfer cards. Finally, a free space card lets you mark off any one space on your board, and does not require players to mark off a window of one of your trains.

The first player to fill all the spaces in a track gets the gold route completion points for that track. Any other players who complete that track will receive the standard completion points.
