MONORAIL

Two tiles that form a train station are laid out in front of the players. Each turn, the player can lay down one to three tiles. Unlike the original version of Monorail, tiles will be taken from a set of 20. There are only two different types of tiles: a curve and a straight line. The tiles that are laid down by a player must be in a straight line and must connect to the existing pieces forming the board. The tiles cannot block off one of the already existing lines.


The first player to complete a single loop wins the game. However, there is a second win condition as well.


After a player completes their turn, the other player may determine that the game cannot be completed with the remaining tiles. In this case, they can declare that the game is impossible to complete. Once done, the other player has the opportunity to use any and all remaining tiles to complete a loop. If they complete the loop, they win. If they cannot, the player that declared the game impossible wins.
