About the game
Each year, the International Bridge Racing Association selects a city with lots of bridges to host its annual Bridgetown Race. This year they have chosen Portland, Oregon USA. Players - using bicycles, motorcycles, taxis, buses, automobiles, the street car and sometimes their own two feet - try to be the first to cross each bridge and capture its flag. Be the first to capture a flag from every bridge, and you win the race! Each round, players arrange for transportation by placing coordinators on the transportation mode or special action of their choice. Next, the players choose a transportation mode and move their racer through the streets, trying to be the first to cross a bridge and pick up its flag. The flag is placed on the player’s Bridge Completion card and the first person to collect all eight flags wins the race.
