Quick answer
To use Maglev Maps Volume 1, first ensure you own the base Maglev Metro game, then follow the setup steps for each of the six new maps, which introduce unique components like triple-sized Mechs and VIP passengers.
What You Need to Get Started
Maglev Maps Volume 1 is an expansion for Maglev Metro, so you must own the base game to play. The expansion contains six double-sided map boards, new passenger meeples, Mech tiles, and other components. Each map has its own rules and setup, but the core gameplay remains the same.
One common mistake is assuming all maps use the same components. Check the map's rule sheet for which new pieces to include—some maps add VIP passengers or Maglev Strike tokens, while others introduce triple-sized Mechs.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Maglev Maps Volume 1
- 1. Choose a Map: Select one of the six map boards from the expansion. Each board represents a different city or environment, such as London or the Moon. Check the map's rule sheet for any special setup instructions. Don't mix components from different maps—each map uses a specific set of new components.
- 2. Set Up the Board: Place the chosen map board on the table. Some maps may replace or supplement the base game board. Add the new passenger meeples (including VIPs if indicated) to the starting stations. VIP passengers are worth more points but may have special movement rules—read their rule sheet carefully.
- 3. Add New Components: If the map includes triple-sized Mechs, place them on the board as indicated. Maglev Strike tokens go into a supply pool. Player board enhancements (like Mars or Moon units) replace or attach to your base player board. Triple-sized Mechs block more track space—plan your routes accordingly.
- 4. Review Map-Specific Rules: Each map alters play in new ways. For example, some maps might change how passengers are scored or how strikes work. Read the included rules insert thoroughly before starting. Skipping the map-specific rules is the most common mistake—each map has at least one unique rule.
- 5. Play the Game: Follow the standard Maglev Metro turn sequence: move your train, pick up or drop off passengers, and use actions. Incorporate the new components as per the map's rules. The game ends when a player reaches a certain score or all passengers are delivered. Keep the map's rule sheet handy for quick reference during play.
- 6. Clean Up and Store: After the game, separate the expansion components from the base game. Store the map boards and new pieces in the expansion box for easy access next time. Label the bags for each map's components to speed up future setup.
