Will you dominate the city’s transit system, or will your rivals leave you stuck in traffic?
Beep! Beep! Dive into the fast-paced world of Bus: Complete Edition, a strategic board game where you build and manage a bustling public transit network in a rapidly expanding city. Designed by Jeroen Doumen and Joris Wiersinga, this classic worker placement game, first released in 1999 by Splotter Spellen, is back with a vibrant new edition featuring premium wooden components.
In Bus: Complete Edition, 3-5 players (ages 12+) compete to deliver passengers to their desired destinations—home, office, or the ever-popular pub—over a 90-minute playtime. Strategically expand your bus routes, develop new suburbs, lure passengers to the city, and invest in a fleet of buses to maximize your score.
Outsmart your rivals by timing your routes to steal their passengers, but beware: the innovative "stop-time" mechanic lets players freeze the clock, shifting passenger demands. Use it wisely, as overusing this power risks rupturing the space-time continuum, ending the game in a collapse of the universe!
This edition elevates the experience with 90 screen-printed wooden building discs (representing homes, offices, and pubs), a wooden Start Player Bus, 125 bus line markers, 100 action markers, 25 bus tokens, 15 passengers, 5 score discs, 5 glass time stones, and a detailed rulebook.
The updated graphic design and high-quality components breathe fresh life into this beloved title, known for its cutthroat tactics, deep interaction, and innovative mechanics like action queue and pick-up and deliver.
Perfect for strategy enthusiasts and fans of network-building games, Bus: Complete Edition offers endless replayability with dynamic city layouts and variable passenger goals.
