Someone I used to work with has just made a bored game. I have not played it but posting here to send some business his way ( I have no idea how he's selling it mind you )

There's a version available for mobile phones too. The app is a good introduction to the game, plays just the same, and can play with the phone as opponent or against other linked opponents.No, not at all, it's not a linear track around the board - if you see something that looks like one on an image, that's the score tracker.
It's a mapboard with routes that each person in turn can claim a leg of using the number of pieces (carriages) on the map. You score by completing routes on cards in your hand - long routes score more but are harder/take longer. So for a UK map, Manchester-Birmingham would be a longer route than Manchester-Liverpool - it would take more pieces to complete, but score more.
The game ends when a player runs out of carriages to place on the map, and it's not a long game.

Yes, I've played that too, and agree - as a way to find out if it's your kind of game, it's cheap.

I've got the MCFC Centurions Edition Monopoly. My daughter always smashes me at it, but it' a quality box cover.Also bought the Man City game from amazon for my lad for christmas. No idea what it is, but Haaland is on the box so atleast its a new game, not some old shite with Mangala on it.

First time I seen this game, is it similar to monopoly?
Root out an old copy of the PC Game Locomotion - essentially the same thing!

I disagree - I don't think it's anything like that. locomotion is a Tycoon Empire game.

Ticket to Ride is excellent - had many happy hours playing this.
No money involved, it's about building routes between cities. A lot of fun and then skulduggery when you spend three quarters of the game saving cards to build a massive route and then another player blocks you!
