Les Aventuriers du Rail: San Francisco

Ticket to Ride: San Francisco takes the familiar gameplay of the Ticket to Ride series - collecting cards, riding routes, drawing tickets - but on a map of 1960s San Francisco that allows a game to be completed in no more than 15 minutes. Each player starts with a supply of 20 cable cars, two transport cards in hand, and one or two destination tickets that point to places in San Francisco. Each turn, you draw two transport cards from the deck or the five-card face-up display (or take a face-up ferry, which counts for all six colours in the game); or claim a route on the board by discarding the cards corresponding to the colour of the claimed route (any set of cards will allow you to claim a gray route, though some require ferries); or you draw two destination tickets and keep at least one.

When you build a line that connects to a memory location, such as Lombard Street, the Embarcadero or the Golden Gate Bridge, you take a memory token from that location. Players take turns until someone has only two cable cars left in their pool, then each player takes a final turn, including the player who triggered the end of the game. Players then add up their points, scoring points for (1) the routes they took during the game, (2) the destination tickets they completed (connecting the two locations on a ticket with a continuous line of their cable cars), and (3) the souvenirs they collected, with a full set of seven souvenirs worth 12 points. You lose points for any destination ticket not completed, and the one with the highest score wins!
