Bus: Complete Edition, a Public Transportation Board Game for Friends and Family Ages 12+, 3-5 Players, 90 Minutes

I originally played BUS in 1999. Unfortunately, due to the limited print run of the original game, obtaining a copy was a little out of my price range. Here we are, 2 decades later, and a reprint has finally been released. I love the updated graphic design of the new edition. One of my favorite games of all-time.

Best with 4 players

 Highest Level of Tactical and Interactive Gameplay---------- I argue it would be near impossible to make a solo variant of this game due to the extreme player interaction required for this game!---------- Because of this, it is a game that thrives with players that like to pay attention to other players while they play, because everything that you do will impact what you can do next turn, and what your opponents can do as well!---------- Don’t take what I’m saying and think it is a difficult to play game… the rules are very easy to understand, and it’s easy to play! The difficulty will come from the players, and how they interact with the playground presented to them. Beautiful Production---------- Check out the pictures to see what I mean! 20th Anniversary Edition---------- You get enough components for almost two full copies of the game!---------- They give you the classic art on a board, and classic tokens, and they also offer the new art on a board, with new tokens, and upgraded wooden pieces! Order of Actions---------- If you go to a spot first, you might actually take those actions first, or last, depending on the action! (Some go reverse order, some go in order). So, it’s a game to play “chicken” and going to some spots, because others can go later than you, and take away some of your actions! Stopping Time---------- A spot literally makes time stop! You can make people want to go to work 2 rounds in a row, adding tension that can only be possible in a game like this. People only Travel…---------- If they are not already at the target destination. So there might be 10 or so bars, but if people are across the street from a bar, which is next to their job, they will not take a bus and will just walk there!

A light game. If you like Age of Seam, for example, which is another game with pick and deliver mechanics, it will seem like this. Lightweight.Un juego liviano. Si te gusta Age of Seam, por ejemplo, que es otro juego con mecánica de pick and deliver, te parecerá así. Liviano.

The gameboard is thin and warps on me. Not sure if Amazon sold me a counterfeit version of the game.
