Let's Make a Bus Route is a relatively large entry in the somewhat new category of flip-and-write games, these being an offshoot of roll-and-write games because players are presented with the result of a flipped card (instead of rolled dice) and must then do something with it. Having cards in such a game typically gives you better control since you know that certain actions or results are coming at some point in the game; you just need to hope that you put yourself in the right position to take advantage of them when they come.
The gist of this game is that everyone is creating their own bus route in the same town, and you want to create stops that serve lots of passengers and take riders by scenic attractions while avoiding traffic in town caused by all of the other buses that are trying to do the same thing as you!

One of the things I like best about titles at Game Market is that often someone sees something that they want to make into a game, then they do it. Boom! Commerciality is not an issue for many GM designers; they just have something that they want to put out into the world, so they do it, and I find those types of projects far more interesting to talk about and present than the 22nd iteration of someone taking over for a dying king. Can't you at last having a dying lion, and players need to see who will lead the pride? Or the senior class president is graduating and now all of the juniors are fighting to lead the student body? Or maybe the secondary colors stage a coup against the primary colors for rainbow supremacy in A Who's Who of #2 Hues?
