Teacher Tips:
The colored pencils that come with this game do not have erasers. I would recommend ordering some that do, or laminating a few sets and using markers.
The score sheets are small, so you may want to also have pencils (with erasers) on hand for students to calculate their final score.
If your students are really enjoying this game you can check out similar versions, Next Station: Paris (BGG), Next Station: Tokyo (BGG), or Next Station: Berlin (BGG) which have the same mechanism but slightly different scoring/goals (e.g. bridges).
Next Station: London also has an expansion pack named Open Day (BGG) that adds a random 6th Tourist Site. It is available as a print and play here (English) and here (French).
Next Station: London is also available as a purchasable app for Apple products. More information can be found here.
