Free Ride, another fine game from Friedemann Friese, designer of Power Grid and Friday, takes us to the Golden Age of Railways in Europe. Around the end of the 19th Century, a growing network of railway lines was built in Europe. This allowed people to travel to the major cities to visit beautiful structures influenced by Art Nouveau and Historicism.
In Free Ride, you are in charge of building the railway lines that will connect the major cities of Europe. Then, you move your train along the growing railnetwork to carry passengers to visit the famous structures in these cities. Moving your train along your railway lines and state-owned railway lines is free.If you use railway lines owned by your fellow players, you must pay them, which converts their lines into state-owned railway lines.
To collect passengers, you can choose from an open display of city cards representing different travel routes of passengers. Move your train to one of thecities on display and choose that travel route by picking up this starting city card together with the destination city card. When your train arrives at thedestination, you fulfill this travel route and gain victory points for both cards at the end of the game. At first, you can only take care of a single travel route.Later, your train can carry two travel routes at the same time and travels faster along the network of railway lines.
The goal of Free Ride is to visit as many different cities of Europe as possible.
