To play the Autobahn board game, first, get familiar with the game board representing the German motorway system. As the director of the BundesAutobahn Organisation, you'll start by making strategic decisions on building the Autobahns. Use your cards to take actions on the 7 main Autobahns. Plan your moves well, as timing is crucial for efficiency. Try to gain seats on administration boards, increase your budget, and promote your board members to earn victory points. To unlock new scoring opportunities, focus on building your reputation. Facilitate goods transport to neighboring countries and construct petrol stations. When the game reaches the 1990 unification period, look for chances to expand the network into eastern Germany. Regarding maintenance, keep the game pieces in a dry and clean place. Don't bend the cards or damage the board. And always read the instructions carefully before each new game to make sure you understand the rules and any new scenarios.
