== DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVE ==

Each player represents a subway-building company,
and will dig two subway lines across the city.
The goal is to connect important destinations - residential
areas, commercial areas, and entertainment areas - and to
provide them with subway stations.
Take advantage of other players lines (for example, stations
are built wherever two lines meet ; you can win points at the
end by sharing the quickest trip), and try also to deroute or
even block off your opponents at the right time, to keep them
from well completing their lines!
At the end of the game, the city government will run seven
"test trips" between designated destinations, placed by the
players themselves during the game.
For each test trip, the fastest connection between the two
points will be rewarded with Public Utility Points, and the
player whose subways have the most points wins!

== GAME COMPONENTS & SET UP ==

'''Game Board'''
To set up the board, take the four border pieces and put
them together. Take the six triangular "city" pieces, and
arrange them randomly within the border.

'''Counters'''
Each player takes a set of counters of a particular color.
Each has a score marker (showing a subway train),
which is placed on the gameboard on the "0" space
of the scoring track.
Each player also has counters for two subway lines:
one with a solid color, and another with a "striped" color.
Each line should have a Start marker (white arrow),
an End marker (black arrow), and eighteen triangular
Tunnel counters.
There are also twelve Destination markers. Each is marked
with a letter (A-F), and is paired with another Destination
marker. These will be the destinations that will be "tested"
after the building phase is complete. The summary of these
tests is in the upright corner of the board.
Finally, there are thirty "station" markers, which are set by the
side of the board, and are not controlled by any player.
The map is made up of smaller triangles, which are either
blank, have a destination symbol, or a lake/park. Along the
edge of the city are white arrows indicating where a subway
line starts, and black arrows indicating where they exit the city

== THE COURSE OF THE GAME ==

'''Installation'''
Take the destination markers and shuffle them letter-sidedown.
With 4 players, each player takes one Residential, one
Commercial, and one Entertainment Destination at random.
That player then secretly looks at his markers. If two have
the same letter, he puts one back and draws a new one until
all three have different letters. When all the players have
their three Destination markers, they flip them letter-side-up
in front of them, visible for others.
With 3 players, each player takes one more Destination marker.
With 2 players, each player gets 6 Destination markers: one
player gets the Destinations A,B,C,D,E,F shown on the left of
the gameboard test Summary, the other player uses the ones
on the right.

'''Player turn'''
The most "urbane" player begins.
Play goes clockwise starting with the first player. On one's
turn, the player MUST do one and only one of the following:
- Dig 3 tunnels (to continue one or both of his lines) or
- Build an intermediate station (on one of his lines)

'''Starting a line'''
Each player has two subway lines.
On his first turn, a player must, of course, begin a subway
line - but only one!
A subway line must start from an empty space with a white
arrow along the edge of the city. To start a line, place its first
tunnel, topped with its "start" marker, in any of these spaces.
Then continue normally the line in the city by digging the
remaining tunnels.
When you will begin your second subway line at any subsequent
turn, it must start on one of the "opposite" edges from
where your first line began.

'''Digging tunnels'''
Subway lines are built in the city by placing Tunnels in the
triangular spaces. Only one tunnel may be placed in a space,
and must conform to the following:
- A line must always be built from its terminus; and never "branch off"
- A line may not be continued with an acute angle. EXCEPTION: when a line terminates at a station, it may be built out from that station at any angle, even acute.
- A line may never make a loop or double back on itself
If you choose to dig tunnels on your turn, you MUST place
3 tunnels (unless it is only possible to place fewer).
If you have two lines, you may distribute your 3 tunnels
between them as you wish.

'''Special areas'''
The start or end spaces (with an arrow) along the edges of
the city can only be used to start or end a line.
Tunnel counters may never be placed on the park or the lake.
When a player places a tunnel counter on top of a destination
area, the player must place immediatly one of his
Destination markers on that tunnel piece (of the appropriate
type, of course), letter-side up.
If a player does not have the appropriate marker, the player
may not place that tunnel piece on the destination.
Furthermore, each player may only place one destination
marker per turn, and two destinations of the same letter
cannot touch, either on an angle or on the side.

'''Stations'''
Most of the stations are created while digging tunnels.
A station is immediately placed when:
- The line being dug joins another line. In this case, a station is placed where the two lines meet up.
- The line, which was running alongside another line, splits off from it. In this case, a station is placed where the line splits off.
- When a line, running alongside another line, changes side, NO STATION is placed.
The player scores 1 point for each destination area on the
board that touches the station.
He continues to dig tunnels after placing a station, if he still
has some left to build. (i.e., building a station like this does
not stop your tunneling.)

'''Intermediate stations'''
In lieu of digging tunnels, a player may use all his turn to
place one station anywhere on one of his lines, between two
preexisting stations. A starting or ending marker counts as a
station for this purpose.
Points are scored as for stations placed while digging tunnels.

'''Ending lines'''
A line ends on a space with a black arrow. The player digs
his last tunnel on that space, topped with an "End Line"
counter.
A line may not end on the same edge as it started, nor on an
adjoining edge to that "start edge," unless all the end spaces
on the allowed sides are already taken.
When a line ends, that player may immediately place an
intermediate station anywhere on the line. However, once a
line is completed (with this bonus station), the player may
never place an intermediate station on that line again

'''End of the building phase'''
Players continue building until one of the following occurs:
- A player has completed both of his lines
- A player places the last station available
- Five lines are either completed, or blocked and unable to be completed
Note : a line is blocked if it can no longer be extended, typically
because all the spaces at its end are already occupied,
forbidden, or has run out of tunnels.
Then all other players have one last turn to play.
After, scoring begins.

== THE SCORING PHASE ==

'''Lines scoring'''
First, scores are adjusted as follows:
- Players who completed both of their lines lose no station points.
- Players who completed only one line lose half their station points (rounded down)
- Players who completed none of their lines lose all their station points.
Adjust the scoring markers accordingly.

'''Test trip scoring'''
Each test trip runs between destination markers of the same
letter: A to A, then B to B, and so on. You can see the summary
of these trips in the upright corner of the board.
For each trip, determine the shortest route:
- a trip takes 1 minute to go from one station to another (no matter how many tunnel pieces are in between)
- and 3 minutes to change from one line to another.
A trip may have more than one fastest route.
Each player who has a line making up part of the fastest
route gets 3 points, plus a bonus of 3 points if he placed
one of the destination markers (i.e., if the marker is
on a tunnel piece of the player's color).
A player may only get points once for each test, even if the
player is involved in more than one route.
Players who are not involved in the fastest route never get
any point.

'''Impossible trips'''
Sometimes, a test run may be impossible.
If that is the case, a city investigation takes place to determine
the guilty party or parties:
- If the destination marker was never placed on the board, the guilty party is the player who didn't place the marker.
- If the marker was placed but nobody put a station touching it, the guilty party is the player who placed the destination.
- If the markers were both placed, but no route exists between the two, both players who placed the markers are guilty.
The guilty party or parties loose 6 points

'''Final test'''
The last test run is between the park and the lake. Determine
the fastest route, as always. Each player involved in the fastest
route gets 5 points.
Important note : if your score goes beyond 20 points, move
your marker normally, but place one of your tunnels near the
20 to show that. If your score goes below 0 point, place one
of your tunnels near the 0.

== THE WINNER ==

At the end of the game, the player with the most points is
crowned King of the Subway - i.e., WINS.
If there is a tie, the winner is the player who finished the
most lines; if there is again a tie, the winner is the player who
placed the most tunnels.
If there is still a tie, litigation is the only possible solution.

== SPECIAL RULES ==

Two players
End of game: 3 lines finished and/or blocked ends the building
phase. The other conditions still unchanged.
Test trip scoring: the second version of the rules on this topic is not implemented on BGA.

Three players
End of game: 4 lines finished and/or blocked ends the building
phase. The other conditions still unchanged.
Test trip scoring: same as with four players.

== VARIANTS ==

Unfair Municipality (3-4 players)
Each player keeps his destination markers letter-side-down
in front of him. The markers are only revealed when they are
placed on a destination area in the city.

No Corruption (3-4 players)
Ah, everything is straight and clear… Because each player
takes pre-etablished destination markers and keeps them in
front of him, letter-face-up, of course!

4 players
Player 1: A Residential, B Commercial, C Entertainment
Player 2: D Residential, A Commercial, E Entertainment
Player 3: F Residential, E Commercial, B Entertainment
Player 4: C Residential, D Commercial, F Entertainment

Senatorhung: /* Alternate Rules */

== 6 nimmt! ==

The basic goal of the game is to avoid having to pick up cards, and try to force the other players to do so. Everyone starts with 66 points - you lose one for each "beef head" on a card you have to pick up. When one player has lost all of their points, the game will end at the end of the current round and the player with the most points left wins!

=== Playing the game ===

Everyone starts a round with 10 cards in their hand. Four cards are placed on the table to start four rows. Every player secretly chooses a card, and then all of the cards are revealed at the same time. When the cards are revealed, they are placed on the ends of rows, from lowest value played to highest, following two rules:

1. cards are always placed in ascending order.
2. cards are always placed next to the card on the board with the smallest difference between them.

As play progresses, the rows will fill up with cards - at five cards, a row is full. If someone's card would go onto a full row, that player has to pick up all of the cards in that row, and they lose as many points as there are "beef heads" on the cards (different cards are worth different amounts - more on that in a moment). The card that the person played becomes the starting point of a new row.

If someone plays a card that is lower than the numbers at the end of all of the rows, then that player must take a row of their choice, and start a new row in its place with their card.

'''Bull heads'''

Each card has a number of bull heads on it - this indicates how many points it is worth when it is picked up.

Cards which end in the number "5" (ex. 5, 15, 25) are worth 2 points.
Cards which end in the number "0" (10, 20, 30) are worth 3 points.
Cards which have double numbers (11, 22, 33) are worth 5 points.
The "55" card has both a "5" and double numbers, and is worth 7 points.
All other cards are worth 1 point.

'''End of a round'''

Once a round ends, if no one has lost all of their points, then a new round begins. If someone is out of points, then the game is over and whoever still has the most points is the winner.

=== Alternate Rules ===

'''Tactics:'''
This ruleset changes the number of cards in play based on how many people are playing - other than that the rules are the same. The number of cards is equal to the number of players plus 4, so every card that could be played will find its way onto the table at some point. This changes strategy some and makes paying attention to which cards are have yet to be played important.

'''Logic:'''
The same as Tactics, except that at the start of the round all of the cards are placed on the table face up, and players take turns choosing cards one at a time to build their hands before the round proper starts.

'''Professional:'''
Cards are played to the left OR the right, depending on which is closest in numerical value. The card that the person played becomes the starting point of a new row.

Senatorhung:

In "Le Dernier Peuple" (The Last Folks), you personify a people.

Each player has a "home" card which of his/her color. You play cards to move your 2 meeples around the cards's circle and gain points.

== Goal ==
Reach 12 points.

== A turn==

''First'', you can (optional action) use a power card (those cards are collected on pickaxes). Each card has a unique effect - read it by hovering the card in your hand with your mouse.

''Secondly'', you have to chose between drawing 2 movement cards OR use 1 movement card then draw 1 movement card.
A grey downward arrow allows you to move your meeple ; a black upward arrow allows you to move any opponent's meeple. Each arrow gives 2 possibilities : moving a meeple by the number indicated in the circle (positive = clockwise ; negative = unclockwise) OR moving a meeple toward the card with the number indicated in the square.

You'll gain points by surrounding any "home" card with your 2 meeples or with 1 of your meeple and one opponent's meeple.

If your meeple ends up on a card with a pickaxe, you draw a power card (purple outline).

Some movement cards have 2 small numbers next to the big circled number. The big number X is always the addition of the 2 small numbers Y and +/- 1 : X=Y+1 or X=Y-1. It means that, by using this card, you'll first move the meeple by Y cards, then see if an event (attack or supply) occurs. If yes, solve the event, and redeploy the involved meeples normally. If no event occurs, move the meeple once more.

== Resolving attacks and supplies ==

''Supply'' : If a player surrounds his own "home" card with his 2 meeples, he gets 2 points.

''Noble Attack'' : If a player surrounds another player's "home" card with his 2 meeples, he wins 3 points, and the attacked ennemy loses 1 point.

''Sneaky attack'' : If a home card is surrounded by a meeple of the active player and another player's meeple, the active player gets 2 points, the other meeple's owner gets 1 point, and the attacked player loses 1 point.

== Redeployment ==

If an attack or a supply has been made, then both meeples involved will be redeployed. The meeple of the active player gets redeployed first ; then the other meeple (of the same player, or of another player).

A movement card is drawn, and the meeple is moved toward the card with the number indicated in the square. Same process for the second meeple.

Basically, on BGA, this will mean the 2 meeples will be teleported randomly to some card on the board.

== Power Cards ==
(Google translated from: http://www.ledernierpeuple.com/regles.php#but_du_jeu ... card names may not match BGA)

Strength: Win a token "2 VP" of the bank.

Care: Win a token "1 PV" of the bank.

Thief: Steal 1 VP to the player of your choice (if not token "1 PV", he must make change with the bank to give you that PV).

Bandit: Steal a card at random from the hand of the player of your choice.

Hex: The player must make your choice (if possible) 1 VP at the bank (if not token "1 PV", he must make change with the bank to make this PV) .

Black Magic: Randomly select a card hand of the player of your choice that you discard without applying the effect.

Barter: Trade your hand of cards with the player of your choice.

Speed: Play 2 consecutive rounds.

Mace: The player of your choice must spend his next turn.

Swap: Swap instead of one of your pawns with the player of your choice. (Do not solve the possible action generated by this new configuration.)

Chance: Draw a card "displacement" and a map "power" and add them to your hand.

The next card is to play out of turn when is the target of an attack or card "power" (except "Swap").

Defence: You do not suffer the effect and the attackers or do not earn PV. Moreover, in case of attack countered attackers pawns are still repositioned.
