I love how passengers don't really care to which office they go to or to which home they come back to

Not played any of these games, bit I’m curious! Which of these game should I buy first? (Games I like: Brass, Concordia, Gaia Project, Agricola, Great Western Trail, Puerto Rico).
Looks really fun! What an interesting concept! This is going on the wish list!
What a great idea for a game, BTW that joke about stopping the time cracked me up, nice one. Another super video, cheers!

Amazing video! I have the game and its great! Rules are pretty simple, you just have to really specify the goofy rools about revers, and maximum buses etc. You did a great job Rodney! Games I wish to see explained by you is: Wild Blue Yonder Quartermaster General (2nd edition) Twilight Struggle Combat Commander (I know, its a stretch....)

For once, the most exciting part of the intro isn’t the box flip, but Rodney nailing the pronunciation of the designers’ names.

Super fun game.
LOL, just played this without watching Rodney’s video. The only thing that we messed up (and thats serious) is that we also assigned the power of an action from left to right, so that a player on the LEFTmost spaces always got the “number of buses” value, and decreasing from there. Made for a super cutthroat game as you could basically nullify other players actions by placing action pawn to the left of theirs. Actually not a bad way to play - but super low scorings. Thanks for clarifying that!

Hey Rodney! Thanks for introducing this game. This one is going on my wishlist. Rule question.. so the vroom action does not have the "spot penalty" of B minus one and so forth correct?

Correct. It's based on your actual number of buses.

I thought I noticed a flaw in the game. The biggest "Maximum # of Buses" is 5, but the other action rows have 6 spots meaning that they get 0 lines for example. But yeah in a 5 player game the +1 bonus means that the F space can generate a line.

First looking at the board: "This looks like a retheme of Ticket to Ride." A few moments later: "Okay, this is nothing like Ticket to Ride. But now I want Ticket to Ride with Doc Brown's flying time train."

This looks like a fun game that my son will enjoy, too. One question, though - what makes it a minimum of three players?
@WatchItPlayed

You can play it with two, but it loses a lot of its tension and is very unforgiving. The design is really meant for more.
This looks like if Pandemic and Ticket to Ride had a baby

I was wondering if the token placed as a reminder where your line starts is also removed from game at the end of the turn or it is returned to my supply
@WatchItPlayed

Are you referring to this? kzread.info/dash/bejne/dX-LktaSn6y7j84.html If so, you would remove the token after the next time you extend your line (since you won't need the reminder after that point).

I'm not really sure how to answer you. The game isn't designed for 2 players, but people certainly do come up with their own ways to try to make stuff like that work.
The game seems to be pretty interesting, although that cover did NOT make me expect that kind of game. It looks way more like a child/party game.
