In Maglev Metro, utilize state-of-the-art magnetic levitation technology to build a metropolitan rail system, transporting workers and robots beneath the city. Replace aging Manhattan and Berlin subway systems with newer, faster, quieter technology. Enhance your rail system's abilities so that your passengers arrive at their destinations first.
Efficiency is your key to success in this pick-up-and-deliver, tile-laying, engine-building game. Transparent tiles allow your route to overlap your opponents' tracks, winding you along from station to station. Robots efficiently upgrade and adjust your abilities, leveraging unique goals to maximize points. By the end of the game, the game board has morphed into a modern subway map, with brightly-colored routes connecting stations all over the city.

5.0 - My absolutely favorite games. You can pry them out of my cold dead hands.
4.5 - Love this game! At the same time missing something that would make it a 5. Could be hard to table, lacking variability, a little light, etc.
4.0 - Really great game, almost always keeping, although has meaningful complaints as to what takes away from the experience.
3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, may lose out to better games but the idea of never playing again is a bit sad.
3.0 - A good game, would play and suggest with the right people, if I never played it again wouldn't lose any sleep.
2.5 - A game I'd play again , but will never suggest it myself
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again
1.5 - A game I can't find any reason to recommend
1.0 - A game that is just bad.

I played my first game yesterday. It was lovely, but I'm happy to hear they will come out with more maps because I feel like I would get tired fast of playing on the same map over and over.

[@BoardGameCo]

Yep, definitely agreed

[@christianbank393]

Nice shout out to Notre Dame, great Feld game.

[@BoardGameCo]

Notre Dame is great :)

[@Vypper7]

I like your Notre Dame suggestion as an alternative, an oldie but a goodie. Also Oracle of Delphi since we are talking about Feld (see Feld do pick up and deliver !). Railways of the World is my favorite of the Martin Wallace train games, but yeah, basically the same game as Steam. It's great, and has lots of maps. And Xia, for pick up and deliver with some theme / chaos !

[@nickadams8460]

The tableau board that is double layered looked quite warped in the video. Is this the case from those that have a copy?

[@BoardGameCo]

Mine are all warped, not enough that I even thought to mention it but definitely warped.

[@dannyvallee7197]

Yup mine are all warped as well.

[@nickadams8460]

Thanks for letting me know. I will probably still get it but I have a little pet annoyance at warped boards (either single or multi-layered!)

[@FrancisPelletier]

Yes mines are too.

[@EfrainRiveraJunior]

I don't think that I've ever played a 'pickup and deliver' game.

[@GlennDeBlock]

Our group HATE. HATE. HATED this game.

[@user-ez5vq9fd2t]

How come?

[@GlennDeBlock]

@@user-ez5vq9fd2t Hard to say. Nothing really clicked. So fiddly and chaotic.

[@BoardGameCo]

Different strokes and all that....some games just don't work for some people.
