Description
It's quittin' time in the Big City, and all the hardworking people want to get home to their families! Cooperate with other players to build routes and get six Commuters from the Big City to their homes in the Suburbs.
Mass Transit is a clever, fast-playing, cooperative, limited communication game for 1-6 players featuring dual-use cards.
You must play two cards each turn, and you can play cards in two ways:
- To build roads, canals, and rails, or
- To move the buses, ferries, and trains from one station to the next.
Players must work skillfully together, but the twist is that communication is limited: players cannot tell each other what cards they have in their hands or share their strategies, so planning moves is tricky!

Quotes (from this video)
- hello everybody my name is ilya my name is tyler together you make up cabre a couple that loves to play board games
- they're all portable games that we find that would be like easy to tuck away in our backpack and that we think everybody would enjoy
- The person that wins is the first it's a deck building game and the first person to draw five cards and have no artichokes wins.
- It's a little crunchy so I really like it.
- This is a really tough cooperative game yeah it is not easy to win.
- It's brain burner because you've got to place at least two of the dice down and it can be pretty brain crunchy.
- It's very clever it gets you there's silence no communication but there's a nice little communication mechanism within the game.
- There's so many laughs involved every single time.
- The group really determines how this game is played because if everyone's risky then you can be risky but if everyone's more conservative and really collecting all the cars then you kind of have to or else you're gonna fall behind.
- It can definitely hurt the brain because there are some rows that are actually like almost full 15 and there's only 15 like you're drawing from 1 to 15 and sometimes I can hurt.
