Esta ficha es solo tuya. La otra persona tiene objetivos y datos distintos. No intercambien pantallas hasta terminar.
Flexible but reliable. Two travelers share Friday’s route, then need different Saturday arrivals. They start. About 10 turns · 9 minutes.
Your screen only. Don't show it. Protect the graduation, carry only what the final vehicle accepts and give the other traveler no responsibility for your late leg.
