Description of Game:
"As the 2024 Summer Olympic games begin, purchase your metro ticket and join us in Paris... the new addition to our Next Station series welcomes you to the City of Light! Next Station Paris combines familiar play elements found in Next Station London and Next Station Tokyo while also offering additional twists.
Players will continue to flip station cards and draw subway lines on their maps, but now they will need to utilize bridge crossings, visit the French capital's iconic monuments, all while taking advantage of the central platform, the busiest station on the network! Who will be the best designer of the Parisian metro?"

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: London (BGG), Next Station: Tokyo (BGG), or Next Station: Berlin (BGG) which have the same mechanism but slightly different scoring/goals (e.g. bridges).
