Embark on a thrilling race to construct a smooth, continuous road from opposite ends of the gameboard in ByPass! Brace yourself for twists and turns, stay adaptable to dodge traffic cones, and strategize your path. Do you have the planning skills needed to be the first to build a completed ByPass? Let's hit the road! Be the first to build a continuous road across the game board from your start to end zone. While this may seem like an easy feat, your opponents will attempt to block your moves, so be prepared to plan your path and use strategy to build your road tile by tile. Speaking of tiles, each of the seven in the game has a distinct road pattern, three of which contain a dead end marked with a barricade. All players may use any road tile placed on the board as part of their path, no matter who placed it. Harness planning, strategy, and spatial reasoning skills to capture a bypass and get ahead of your opponents. Play with 2-4 players, ages 8 and up, in 25 minutes.
