U.S. Telegraph: Help Build a Transcontinental Telegraph Network!

The gameboard is modular and varies in size according to how many players are playing, so, spacial awareness is critical. You'll also have a different number and types of region tiles each time you play the game, as you need to shuffle your tiles before you put them in play.

This means you'll need to read the board, figure out how many tiles are there, and where are the best resources to optimize your building process. This will greatly improve your spacial awareness!

You'll also have to manage your resources constantly, as you'll have to manage your resource cards and "discount" the resources available on the gameboard. I didn't mention it before, but you'll also need great math skills. Another point for the game designer, obviously.

Finally, the idea of a production chain, or chain reaction, will be important when you construct your main buildings first and then your secondary structures, preferably right next to them to build them for free. It is a great workout for your brain.

U.S. Telegraph is a lesson in history as well, as it was inspired by an essential time in history for the United States.

I strongly recommend U.S. Telegraph for your collection!!!
