Around the end of the 19th Century, a growing network of railway lines was built in Europe. This allowed people to travel to the major cities to visit beautiful structures influenced by Art Nouveau and Historicism.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn Free Ride, you are in charge of building the railway lines that will connect the major cities of Europe. Then, you move your train along the growing rail\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003enetwork to carry passengers to visit the famous structures in these cities. Moving your train along your railway lines and state-owned railway lines is free.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you use railway lines owned by your fellow players, you must pay them, which converts their lines into state-owned railway lines.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo collect passengers, you can choose from an open display of city cards representing different travel routes of passengers. Move your train to one of the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecities on display and choose that travel route by picking up this starting city card together with the destination city card. When your train arrives at the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edestination, you fulfill this travel route and gain victory points for both cards at the end of the game. At first, you can only take care of a single travel route.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLater, your train can carry two travel routes at the same time and travels faster along the network of railway lines.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe goal of Free Ride is to visit as many different cities of Europe as possible.","brand":"Rio Grande Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40039858831404,"sku":"RIO600","price":61.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/4435\/6908\/products\/FreeRide.png?v=1644609069","url":"https:\/\/vortexgames.ca\/products\/free-ride","provider":"Vortex Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
