About the game
Get on Board: New York & London tasks players with building the best bus line in the city over twelve fast rounds. Each round reveals a route shape that all players must trace using shared card-driven drafting, connecting waiting passengers to their desired destinations. Bingo-style card reveals combine with route-drawing and network-building to reward planning and a bit of luck. Playable on either the New York or London side of the dual board, it offers two distinct city layouts in one box. It's a light, quick, family-friendly pick-up-and-deliver game.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's team enjoys how Get on Board blends bingo-style card reveals with genuine route-planning tension: you're always balancing the ideal path against what the shared card allows. At just 30 minutes, it's an easy game to fit into a busy night, and the dual city boards (New York and London) offer nice variety. It's approachable enough for newer gamers while still giving strategy fans some real decisions to make. A great light filler for mixed-experience groups.
