Lots of fun!
I bought this game before it was released because I love board games and I love riding the L. It delivered on every promise and I've learned something new about the city with every game. Would highly recommend!

El Game
I loved playing this game! It moves faster than games such as Monopoly, especially if only playing with 3-4 people. Very enjoyable game once you get the rules down - the directions are a little intimidating, but it is easy once you get the hang of it. I would definitely recommend this game!

FUN Transit for ALL
Whether you've been to Chicago , live in Chicago, visit Chicago a thousand times, or only been there a few times, this game is fun and easy to learn for all. I love the Condition Cards & I wish there was more!! Sometimes we are a bunch of sore losers. It's really fun when we do come to Chicago after we play and we end up at a stop that we had in a hand before. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

El Chicago Transit Game
A great hit as a christmas gift - sent to former Chicago-ites in Philly, Seattle, as well as a gift for our family and friends. We played 10 games on Christmas night, and maybe another 30 over the following week. Our family in other cities were excited to share traveling around Chicago on the El. Highly recommend this game. We do wonder if taking the bus should "cost" more in movement since usually a bus ride is sometimes longer than the train.

El game
Bought it for my 9-year old grandson and he loved it. Even though it says age 13 and up, he was able to figure it out. We played it 3 times the first day.

Fun game
A very fun game that takes less than an hour to play (except perhaps your first time.) You will get to learn the whole EL system if played multiple times. Requires an overall strategy, tactical changes due to disruptions, luck (dice rolls and card drawing), and some negotiation with fellow players. If someone takes a decided lead in the game, the other players will make a concerted effort to slow him or her down. So blowout games are not likely often. Some bus lines are also included. Realistically portrays the randomness and frustration of traffic, construction, and special events and turns it into a fun game.

Wonderful Game
My son is a big CTA fan. We live in Chicago and use the train network to get around town a great deal. We played this game shortly after Christmas and we loved it. The directions are wonderfully detailed and we both understood how to play the game very well. As others said, it takes a bit of strategy and a bit of luck to win. We will play this game for many years going forward. Five stars.

Well designed, fun game
This was a big hit Christmas night. We had four players - three veteran Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) riders and one novice - and as soon as we finished the first game everyone wanted to play it again. This is that rare breed of board game that's relatively easy to learn how to play, requires a bit of strategy, and demands a bit of luck to win. Much like riding the CTA. We will definitely be sharing this with friends.
