Transport is a board game released in 2006 for 2–4 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Richard van Oostrum and Rob Vermeer and its main mechanics are Point to Point Movement and Tile Placement.
(From the publisher's website:) Transport is a strategic tile placing game for 2-4 players, which will have you pulling your (or somebody else's) hair out! Players try to gather packages, ready to be shipped from the warehouse. The problem is, that everybody has to share the same conveyor belt to achieve this goal. Build new sections, tinker with the construction, or use a fork lift to rearrange things in a less subtle manner.. Just watch out you don't get boxed in!
Transport supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Transport is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Transport for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Transport has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
