Big Sur

Build the most scenic road in the world, then make everyone else drive it.

California's State Route 1 along the Big Sur coast, one card at a time. Players draft cards and use them either to build the highway or to claim the views and landmarks alongside it — and the road you lay down is the road your rivals will be travelling, whether they like your route planning or not.

Light enough for a family table, with the pleasing tension of a drafting game where every card you take is a card you've also chosen not to give away. Quick to teach, quick to play, and genuinely good-looking on the table.
