(GAME SUMMARY)
|
|
|
| Drake says: "In Thurn & Taxis, players build post office routes across Bavaria and the regions around it, collecting bonus points in various ways. The board shows a map of all the towns, with roads leading from each one town to some of its neighbors. With a little help from the postal staff, who give you only one extra action per turn, players must decide when to cash in a route and when to extend it. Placing houses in just the right regions will earn bonus points in the various sections of the map."

(TIPS/COMMENTS)

| John says: "At first glace, Thurn And Taxis might look similar to "Ticket to Ride." However, it is quite different. Thurn And Taxis is a great couple's game because there is no direct conflict. For 2 players, the game lasts about 45 minutes. The game is about efficiency, and there are multiple paths to victory. Luck is a factor, but pre-planning your strategy is key."

Description:
In 1490, Kaiser Maximilian I awarded Franz von Taxis the contract to deliver mail between the Kaiser’s residences in Innsbruck and Brussels.
He did such a good job that postal services in the country continue to be connected with the name Thurn and Taxis. With the introduction of postal carriages in the middle of the 17th century, members of the family were raised to Count status and given the hereditary title of Postmaster General. The game begins at this point in history.
Can you emulate the achievements of this family and build a successful postal network? Do you have the talent to connect the right cities to create an effective network and not lose sight of the need to acquire new carriages when they are needed? Plan your moves carefully and watch your opponents’ moves carefully, so you are prepared to respond to them.
The game takes you back in time and gives you challenges that will bring you back to the game over and over.
