Linie 1

Linie 1 is a tile laying game in which players lay tiles which represent trolley lines with the object being to connect 2 stations together and making stops at certain places along the way. The Mayfair Games title for this game is Streetcar and the 2 games are virtually identical.

The heart of the game is the track laying part of the game, where players try to make the best route they can between two stations. Certain tracks can be upgraded but any existing track has to be maintained when a tile is upgraded.

What adds to the interest in this game is that each players target stations are kept secret, as are the stations they have to stop at along the route, so in building your own route you could be helping or hindering an opponent from reaching their targets.

The second part of the game involves running your tram car along its route, and is there merely to reward the speed in connecting your route and the shortness of the route.

This is a fun game to play and if you can pick up a copy of either version then its worth doing so if you enjoy tile laying games.
