Originally released in ''Spielbox'' in {{Year|2009}}.<ref> | Originally released in ''Spielbox'' in {{Year|2009}}.<ref> {{IconArrow}} For '''The Tunnel''' we have three sets of rules to draw on: those originally published in ''Spielbox''; a set on Hans im Glück’s website; and, based on that, an English translation on the Spielbox website. I have used those of [[Hans im Glück]] as a basis for this section, although I will point out any differences between versions as necessary. </ref> | ||

The four land tiles are mixed with those of the basic game. Every player receives the tunnel tokens corresponding to his or her color. In games of two, each player may use three sets of tokens; in games with three players, each may use two sets.<ref> | The four land tiles are mixed with those of the basic game.

As long as there is no tunnel token claiming a tunnel opening, the road leading to it is “broken off,” without being complete. | As long as there is no tunnel token claiming a tunnel opening, the road leading to it is “broken off,” without being complete. | ||
<ref> | <ref> {{IconArrow}} This and the next section are greatly revised from the rules published in ''Spielbox'', clarifying a number of issues.</ref> The road remains incomplete even when a tunnel token is placed on the tile. Only when the second tunnel token of the same color is placed on another unclaimed tunnel opening (which may or may not be on the same tile) are the tunnel “entrance” and “exit” defined, and the tunnel finished. | ||
<ref> [[File:Icon_World_Black.png|16px|text-bottom|]] The rules only mention that the tunnel entrance and exit are “defined” but I feel it is worth making a distinction between a road being completed, and a tunnel being finished. The ''Spielbox'' English translation does not, and is potentially confusing.</ref> The road then runs underground through the tunnel, but is not completed at the tunnel exit. The road is completed in the usual way, such as by reaching a crossing. | <ref> [[File:Icon_World_Black.png|16px|text-bottom|]] The rules only mention that the tunnel entrance and exit are “defined” but I feel it is worth making a distinction between a road being completed, and a tunnel being finished.
