Trambahn (Eng) (Scripted)

Description
In Munich at the end of the 19th century, the successful new tramway needs expansion, and the two opposing players in Trambahn are competing for the contract.

To do this, in a grid marked by cards players use their cards in three different ways: as passengers on the trams, as suggested stops on new routes to be built, and as money to pay for these routes. When laying out cards for suggested stops, players need to both match colors and build them in ascending order — but they also need to bring passengers to this tram line in order to score victory points for it.

The cards resemble postcards that feature street cars in Munich and historical parts of the city.

Personal Note:

This was the 2nd Mod I ever tried to script, but it ended up being so buggy, that I abandoned it. Now that I've published almost a dozen mods, I tried again. My accumulated experience managed to fix those earlier bugs, and even incorporate new features. If you enjoy it, please give it (and all my other mods) a thumbs up.

I just wanted to to say thanks a ton for this mod; the game's out of print and I really wanted to try it after people touted it as "Lost Cities but better."

There are a couple of issues with the scripting--it doesn't handle when the deck is depleted correctly, neither dealing the new cards nor taking half of the money from the piles--and some persistent weird TTS issues, like the fact that cards fall through each other and so it can be hard to get your columns to behave, but those are minor grievances. It's still a much better experience than a "raw" one with the same components. Thanks again!

I checked all the images this mod is using, and they are all properly hosted. I'm not sure what that error could be. Let me know if you see it again, or if anyone else has a similar issue

FYI. I'm getting some kind of unknown image error on load but I don't see anything obviously wrong.
