Jetlag: Boston Blitz turns the MBTA into a territory game
A Boston map and rule set for a team game where players travel to public locations to claim territories, complete challenges, and lock them.
- For
- Teams playing a transit-based Boston territory game
- Worth noticing
- Failed or abandoned challenges cannot be retried, and the shared game sheet is described as an honor-system record.
Field notes
The instructions define a sequence: reach a public outdoor location, record a claim, reveal one challenge, then record a success to lock the territory. A failed or abandoned challenge cannot be retried, and locked territories cannot be stolen. The page says the map's draft boundaries draw on Boston geographic data and MassGIS, but warns that its Google Maps outlines are not exact boundaries. The shared sheet is presented as the authority for team records, though the demo board says it is not connected.
