EL The Chicago Transit Adventure
This is a very fun game. The pieces, cards and board are well made. Some locations are hard to locate on the board, but not a big issue. I think tweaking some rules could help the game, but overall this is a fun play.

Great fun!
Highly recommended quality product. We had four players and two had played previously so there was a very short learning curve but seemed pretty easy to pick up. Also, easy to adjust rules to extend or contract the length of the game. We really enjoyed playing and will definitely play again!

Awesome game
I am getting back into playing board games and wanted something new. This is unique to Chicago and is very quick to learn! I learned the first game though that the potential to ruin friendships is high if you close the right stations (or have the ones you need closed!) We had so much fun playing, would definitely recommend.

Love The El Game!
So much fun to play! It’s designed really well, both aesthetically and in terms of playability. We loved playing, planning our routes, and determining which type of Chicagoan we must have been based on our destinations!

Love this game
This was an absolute blast to play !! It could even be good for out of towners. Do not let the instructions intimidate you. Once you get started it's quite easy. Just take 10 mins to read through all the instructions. HIGHLY recommend this game.

Great game!
This is a very enjoyable and unpredictable game. Once you get the rules down, with two players it really only takes 5-7 turns to play a whole game and almost every game is super close. I highly recommend this game.

EL THE CHICAGO TRANSIT ADVENTURE BOARD GAME
Great game. Our 7 kids, aged 21-12, love playing, as do we. Perfect for anyone familiar with riding the el during these pandemic times.
