Hide & Ride: Transit Chase

Hide & Ride is a board game of hide and seek on a city's public transport. One player is the Phantom, who rides a real city's transit network in secret. The others are detectives: they see only the ticket he paid with, and from the tickets they work out where he can be. HOW TO PLAY • The Phantom moves first and nobody sees where. The detectives see only his ticket: bus, tram, metro, train, boat or taxi. • After moves 3, 8, 13, 18 and 24 the Phantom shows himself. In between, every ticket narrows down where he could be. • A detective who rides onto the Phantom's stop wins. The Phantom wins if he lasts all 24 moves, or if the detectives have nowhere left to go. • Tickets run out, so plan your rides.
