Maker’s note
Each week gives you a choice of three upgrades, and moves the river, which takes your bridges with it. You see where the river will go next, so a good network is one you can rebuild. A station that stays overcrowded for thirty seconds ends the run. The map, the stations and the weekly cards all come from the run seed, so a daily city is the same for everyone.

Flat pastel colour, chunky friendly shapes and a hop that squashes when it lands: short runs that fit in a pocket.
