"Highway 1 is a bucket list road for road trippers for many reasons, it's the longest state road in California and has some of the most beautiful and varied scenery you can imagine. The game Big Sur invites you to build this beautiful road and highlight some of its famous landmarks. I haven't had the chance to ride Highway 1 yet. So I was excited to get a crack at Big Sur."
"At the game start you are dealt two road cards. Five additional road cards are placed face up on the table. These five cards are the 'depot' and are available to players at the start of each round. Each round starts by selecting two new road cards from either the deck or the depot, or one of each. You spend cards to play cards. Road cards require resources to build them onto your road. They also provide the resources you need."
Big Sur recreates California Highway 1 as a competitive road-building game where players assemble a personal road by playing road cards. Players begin with two cards and choose additional cards from a face-up depot or the deck each round. Road cards cost resources to play and also generate resources for future use. The objective is to create stretches of three or more consecutive cards showing the same scenery icon; completing a stretch allows placement of corresponding landmark cards. Some road cards provide persistent once-per-turn resources, and players can recycle the top card of their discard pile for extra resources.
