About the game
On Tour Paris & New York is a brand-new standalone game based on the original On Tour design and featuring some new opportunities for travel! Your goal is to plot the longest and most efficient route through these two magnificent cities where you are musicians in the 1920's trying to play in as many jazz clubs as possible. Each turn two ten-sided dice are rolled to make two two-digit numbers that determine where you visit (a roll of 3 and 7 creates the numbers 37 and 73). All players write each of those numbers in a location on their map. The regions they can write in are restricted by cards turned up in the middle of the table. New abilities to take riverboats and ferries will help you tour the city and become a jazz legend. At the end of the game, each player draws a route on their map, starting with a low number and visiting adjacent locations with higher and higher numbers. Players get a point for every venue they visit. -description from publisher
