LesserJester: Clarified the score value of unused stations

== Object of the Game ==

Points can be scored by:

1. '''Claiming a Route''' between two adjacent cities on the map

2. Successfully '''completing a Continuous Path of routes'' between two cities listed on your Destination Ticket(s);

3. Completing the ''Longest Continuous Path''' of routes to win the European Express Bonus card;

4. For each ''Train Station''' kept in '''reserve''' at the end of the game (Each unused station is worth four (4) points).

Points are deducted from the players’ total score for each of their Destination Tickets that are not successfully completed by the end of the game.

== Player Turn ==
Players must perform one
(and only one) of the following four actions:

'''Draw Train Car Cards''' – The player may draw two Train cards (or just one, if the
card they select is a face-up Locomotive. See Locomotives for special rules);

'''Claim a Route''' – The player claims a route on the board by playing a set of Train
cards from his hand that match the color and quantity of the spaces that make
up the route. They place one of their colored trains on each space, and scores the
number of points indicated on the Route Scoring Table for that route’s length;

'''Draw Destination Tickets''' – The player draws three Destination Tickets from the
top of the Tickets deck, and must keep at least one of them;

'''Build a Train Station''' – The player may build a Station in any city that does not
yet have one. To build his first Train Station, the player plays one Train card of
any color and places one of his Train Stations on that city. To build their second
station, a player must play a set of two cards of the same color, and to build their
third station a set of three cards of the same color. Only one station is allowed per city.

Train Stations allow the player to use one route another player has built during scoring. Different Destination Tickets can be scored with a single station as long as they use the same route. The route must have been built by an opponent (it cannot be empty).

== Other Rules ==

'''Ferries'''
To claim a Ferry Route, a player must play a Locomotive card
for each Locomotive symbol on the route, and the usual set
of cards of the proper color for the remaining spaces of that
Ferry Route.

'''Tunnels'''
When attempting to claim a Tunnel route, a player first lays down
the number of cards required by the length of the route. Then the
three top cards from the Train draw pile are turned face-up. For each card revealed whose color
matches the color of the cards played to claim the Tunnel, an additional card of the same color
(or a Locomotive) must now be played from their hand. Only then can the player successfully claim
the Tunnel route.
If the player does not have enough additional Train cards of the matching color (or does not wish
to play them), they may take all their cards back in his hand, and their turn ends.
