Catalogue information
Franz von Thurn established the first permanent postal service between the Vatican and the City-State of Venice in 1490. Later the entire Habsburg Empire was served by a network of stagecoaches. The players each run a stagecoach company and try to find the most valuable one as quickly as possible to exploit routes. The game board shows a large part of Germany and surrounding countries. The players build routes with their cards in order to be able to use them to win new stagecoaches or chips. These earn points. Thurn und Taxis became Spiel des Jahres 2006 in Germany and that is not surprising. The rules of the game are relatively simple, but you have to come from a good family to win. Fortunately, the players have countless different strategies at their disposal. Nominated for the Dutch Games Prize 2007
