In this review, I take a fresh look at Thurn und Taxis, the classic route-building board game from Andreas Seyfarth and Karen Seyfarth. Once a big name in the hobby and winner of the Spiel des Jahres, but does it still hold up today?
We’ll look at how Thurn und Taxis plays, what makes its network-building and hand-management tick, whether the gameplay still feels sharp, and whether it deserves a place on your shelf in the modern board game landscape.
Is this postal-route classic still worth playing, or has it been left behind by newer games?
Perfect for fans of classic Eurogames, gateway games, route-building games, and anyone wondering whether Thurn und Taxis is still worth buying or keeping in their collection.
