Trucking in Europe

Key features of the board game Trucking in Europe

How to start playing?

By the start of Truck Europe, you will have acquired a truck, capital, which you can expand and use to buy either truck upgrades or contracts in a free auction competition. Finally, you will still get your first three orders. The truck shift takes place within rounds, after the round is completed the player on the left plays. The principle is as follows: The player turns the truck in the direction he wants to move, rolls the dice and drives. During the game, you drive around a game plan made up of cities and the roads between them (technically, the game plan is similar to the one in The Postal Courier). You are trying to plan your journey so that you can load and unload as many goods as possible in as few moves as possible.

You can get more orders in the so-called. auction. The game offers two variants:

At any time during the game, you can choose from 4 custom cards laid out. The player will announce this selection to the banker and anyone, regardless of the order in which they play, can bid to win their dream contract. If a player bids the highest possible bid (each card has 5 bids), the auction ends and play continues.
Or you can choose the same system as the previous one, only the difference is, that player, who stands at the loading point has an advantage, he doesn't have to overpay the other players in the auction, just make it up.
There is room for chance in the game, not only in the form of a die roll to determine "how many squares I move", but on some squares there is a yellow dot, announcing "pull the chance card". The cards modify in particular the passage through the game plan: crashes, traffic jams, detours, etc.

End of game

The game ends the moment when one of the carriers has completed all its orders and there are no more to buy. The winner is the richest carrier, not counting trailer purchases or unfinished orders. Players can agree on penalties for unfulfilled orders if necessary.
