H. Peters' \u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eSNCF\u003c\/span\u003e (Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français). Originally released by Winsome Games as part of its 2010 Essen Set, \u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eSNCF\u003c\/span\u003e was subsequently licensed by Queen Games and rereleased as \u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eParis Connection\u003c\/span\u003e in 2011. This is a fast network-\/portfolio-building game with a train theme, with the objective of having the most valuable stock portfolio at the end of the game. Players can own and trade stocks as well as influence the value of each company.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #161616; font-family: LatoWeb, Arial, serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThere are 6 colors of wooden locomotives, each color representing a company. Players are dealt random hands of 5-10 (depending on number of players) locomotives, which are essentially a stock portfolio; the rest of each color are placed in a pool. On your turn, you can either increase the value of a single company by placing 1-5 locomotives from the remaining pool of that company, or you can trade one locomotive in your portfolio for one or two locomotives from the remaining pool in a company.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #161616; font-family: LatoWeb, Arial, serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe game board is a map of France, with cities worth anywhere from 1-4 points, and rural hexes worth 0. Connecting to a city adds to a company's value.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #161616; font-family: LatoWeb, Arial, serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe game ends when Marseille is reached by a company, or when there is only one company with locomotives remaining in the pool. Players' scores are determined by the value of each company at the end multiplied by the number of locomotives the player has for each color.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #161616; font-family: LatoWeb, Arial, serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eSNCF\u003c\/span\u003e expansions may be used with this game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guf","offers":[{"title":"Ballarat","offer_id":29217698775134,"sku":"Ballarat|825abf63-3e59-e7af-2637-2cfc83b83a9f","price":96.79,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Bendigo","offer_id":29217698807902,"sku":"Bendigo|825abf63-3e59-e7af-2637-2cfc83b83a9f","price":96.79,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Geelong","offer_id":29217698840670,"sku":"Geelong|825abf63-3e59-e7af-2637-2cfc83b83a9f","price":96.79,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Werribee","offer_id":29217698873438,"sku":"Werribee|825abf63-3e59-e7af-2637-2cfc83b83a9f","price":96.79,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/8285\/0398\/products\/d0ed2b265db7b9a41b5c597e635cfcb3be86cc98.png?v=1608987789","url":"https:\/\/guf.com.au\/products\/paris-connection","provider":"Guf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
