About this deal

Ready, get set, go! Part of our Transport for London collection, Connecting London is our strategic, tile-laying game, where players build the iconic Zone 1 London Underground Map, scoring by connecting famous mainline stations and London landmarks. The first player to make 5 connections and complete their Underground sign wins. STRATEGIC GAME PLAY – Keep an eye on your opponents, you need to complete your Underground Sign first to win! Each player is dealt 8 cards and must match a coloured line from the previous card to play. Your opponents will try to slow you down with a stash of special cards that could hinder your journey, whilst your cards can be used against other passengers to slow them down or trip them up. The aim of the game is to avoid delays and be the first to get rid of your cards – but above all, make sure you MIND THE GAP!

Following overwhelming success with our best-selling game Mind the Gap , we expanded our license with Transport for London , to bring you six jigsaw puzzles and two brand-new games!

The map tiles exactly match the London Underground Zone 1 board and are placed on top of the corresponding underground line, main line station our tourist attraction. The tourist attraction tiles have a small picture of the attraction on them, but on the board tourist attractions just show a camera. The tiles are like jigsaw pieces with straight edges. Whilst playing Connecting London players can learn where the main line stations and tourist attractions can be found in London, and enjoy playing the game as they do so. Race the Rails has been certified by the Good Play Guide and is great for encouraging observation skills and reaction times as players compete to find the correct stations along their route . Player one starts the game off by taking two of the Good Service tokens out of the bag, this determines which tile of the five tiles he/she has chosen can play. The idea of the game is to form connections between main line stations and tourist attractions.

I was so excited when I first saw this board game as one of my grandsons is fascinated by the London Underground. He was taken to London for the first time a couple a years ago and we did all the usual Tourist things, went for a ride on a boat on the Thames, watched the red buses crossing Westminster Bridge. Saw the Beefeaters at the Tower of London and walked across London Bridge. Where did my grandson want to be and do all the time??? He wanted another ride on the London Underground! He just loved being on an Underground train, looking at the map above and working out which station came next. I think he will really enjoy playing this card game with me or his brother. This year we have a range of products that would suit any puzzle or transport devotee this Christmas. But beware, this journey won’t be plain sailing – there are lots of surprises along the way to throw you off course!
