From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thurn and Taxis is a board game designed by Karen and Andreas Seyfarth and published in 2006 by Hans im Glück in German (as Thurn und Taxis) and by Rio Grande Games in English. In the game, players seek to build postal networks and post offices in Bavaria and surrounding areas, as did the house of Thurn and Taxis in the 16th century. The game won the 2006 Spiel des Jahres award.
[edit] Gameplay
Each turn players draw one or more cards representing regions of Europe. They then play one or more cards comprising a route. After reaching a certain length, a route may be scored. Players may also put markers in some of the regions through which the scored route passes. Points are awarded for the length of the route as well as for certain arrangements of markers.
