About the game
Two brand new recessed expansion maps for Maglev Metro that tweak the rules and gameplay, giving the base game even more replayability. The robots who were so helpful in creating your Maglev metro in Berlin and Manhattan have created a new robot city, complete with super-powered giant mech robots. Create new Mech half-hubs and place oversized mech robots on your player board Unlock new capabilities for each of your actions that are "manned" by mechs instead of robots, such as: Drop off passengers from a distance Unlimited robot/mech adjustments Free no-action passenger pickups The Mechs recessed map provides more possible connections than ever before with the Hub, 4 mech half hubs, and 14 stations all being in play by the end of the game Help build a world-class futuristic theme park in Monorails, as you cater to VIP passengers in addition to regular attendees. New VIP passenger meeples are added to the mix, and they have a twist: they can be dropped off at *any* station Become more efficient than ever by connecting to other trains as they move through your location, getting a free ride around the park even when it isn't your turn New themed Bonus cards provide additional ways to score end-game points, such as: Creating a loop around the park Keeping passengers in your train at the end of the game —description from the publisher
