This file contains all the components to play the game with printed paper. You just need crayons or markers to draw your streetcar lines. See below for more ideas.

In every case, you should print the board on a sheet of standard letter-sized paper. To re-use it multiple times, place it in a plastic sleeve or laminate it and use dry erase markers to draw lines.

If you don't have a color printer, or if you want a single-use board, here is a low-ink greyscale board.

You can use whatever you have around the house, such as pieces from other games or Lego. Here are 2 examples: an early prototype using wood discs and Lego, and a later version using wooden houses and 10mm cubes.

If you just want to try out the game mechanics to see how you like them, it's easy to play a purely abstract version using just dry erase markers, like so:

You can print and assemble all of the components using the link at the top of the page.

The houses are easiest - simply cut out the squares and lay them flat. Building cubes require some assembly - fold and tape them on the inside to make a hollow cube.

Note that you probably don't need all 16 cubes in each color - 10 each will usually be enough for a normal game.

For sturdier building cubes that can withstand a sneeze, tape or glue the paper to a 15-16mm cube. I used double-sided tape here.

You can mix the different ideas and techniques above, or create your own, to make a set that's right for you. Here is an example using generic wood houses and paper buildings.
