    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!

    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.
