Pros
- Positive points for sharing routes with others, unlike the negative points in the previous game.
- Metros can be saved and used to change route direction, adding a decision point.
- The introduction of 'flirts' is seen as more fun than the previous 'businessmen'.
- Goal cards and varying ticket values change the focus and feel of each game.
- Solo mode is included and works well due to the game's low interaction.
- The shared map provides interaction, which is beneficial for new players.
- The game looks lovely and can be more social than other roll-and-writes.
- Considered simpler and more intuitive than some other roll-and-writes.
- Positive changes from the previous version, like making route sharing positive.
Cons
- The game doesn't feel entirely like a sequel but more of an upgrade or remake.
- The board being shared and requiring player order can lead to longer wait times between turns, especially with 4 players.
- Restaurants are visually confusing and look like hotels.
- The iconography for students visiting a 'show' or 'cinema' is not intuitive, with buildings labeled 'Music Hall'.
- The shared map aspect, while interactive, might detract from the portability often associated with roll-and-writes.

Quotes (from this video)
- this doesn't feel as much like a sequel as it does kind of a I don't know if requil is a word as it's kind of like a remake like they've just upgraded some things they saw some problems they fixed those problems and they put it in a couple of new cities
- they've taken out the businessmen and now there's the flirts which I just love it being called the flirts as well it's just more fun
- this shared map it isn't often for these types of games that everybody is working off the same map and you're seeing each other's roots and able to even build off of those too
- one of the issues that I have is the fact that it has to be in turn order because one of the things I like that is in some flip and right are rolling right games is the simultaneous play
- if you are choosing between this and New York and London I think it's a no-brainer I think this does a lot of the same things but better and it adds a few other things
- I'd be interested to hear what other ones are out there or if you played a flipping right game about travel because I'm a sucker for flipping rights about travel
