About the game
Next Station: Paris invites you to sketch out the ideal Parisian metro network as the newest entry in the beloved Next Station flip-and-write series. Each round a station card is revealed and players draw connecting subway lines on their personal scoresheet, weaving in bridge crossings and the city's iconic monuments along the way. A central platform mechanic adds a fresh twist, rewarding players who make smart use of the busiest station on the network. It's a quick, low-footprint game perfect for players who love route-building puzzles.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's editorial team loves how Next Station: Paris packs meaningful spatial puzzle decisions into a short, portable format. The Parisian monuments and bridge mechanics give this entry its own identity compared to London and Tokyo, keeping the series feeling fresh rather than repetitive. It's an easy game to pull out for a quick fix of strategic satisfaction, solo or with friends. We think it's a lovely addition for fans of flip-and-write games looking for their next city to design.

Keep in mind
