Zug um Zug: Europa

🎯 The Goal

Earn the most points by claiming railway routes across Europe, connecting long-distance destination cities, and building train stations.

⚙️ Core Actions

Choose one of four actions on your turn:

• Draw Train Cards: Collect colored train cards from the face-up pool or the top of the blind deck.
• Claim a Route: Discard a matching set of colored cards to place your plastic train cars on the board and score immediate points.
• Draw Tickets: Take additional secret Destination Tickets, keeping at least one to complete for bonus end-game points.
• Build a Station: Place a train station in a city to utilize an opponent’s track link to complete your routes.

🧠 Why you’ll like it

It is an absolute gateway classic. The rules take two minutes to learn, but balancing the race for open routes against keeping your destination tickets hidden creates a great layer of tension.
