Paris Connection

The brand-new train game from the designer of the superb route-building game, Samarkand: Routes to Riches.

The Guru says, 'I have said this about a lot of Essen 10 games, but this time I think it's true: this is the pick of the crop. The next 35 minutes of game time was spent on one of Winsomes 2010 Essen pack - SNCF (now called Paris Connection). I thought Winsome had gone as far as possible down this route by discovering sub atomic level train 'n equity games with Wabash, however with SNCF (Paris Connection) they have found the Quark - 2 actions, build track or trade shares from the same pool as the track cubes, and the game's over when 5 of the 6 cube pools have gone. [...] It's hard to think of a recently released game that packs such a punch in 30 minutes.'
