You're trying to build post-offices in Europe (really Germany/Austria). * Each turn, you pick up a card (from 6 available) representing a town in Europe.* You then play a card that connects to the previous towns you've played.* When the route is at least 3 long, you can close it, and place post-offices in the towns you've visited.* If you then have visited every town in a province, you get points (more if you're the first one to visit them all). Big provinces give you more points. Long routes (5+) also score extra points.There are 22 towns in all, and you have 20 postoffices to build. The first person to get rid of all their postoffices ends the game, and whoever has the most points wins.The difficulty is that when you place post-offices, there is a restriction: either all the offices have to go in one province, or you may only place one office in each province.You can also do one additional thing each turn; pick up an extra card, play an extra card, or replace the 6 cards to choose from with a new set are the common options.I think it's a very nice game, with a moderate amount of strategy; I don't think it's quite as attractive as Carcassonne,  but it's still very nice.Cheers!</blockquote>
