I won on the last turn due to a stroke of luck. Elfenland is fast and simple and fun. There is significant player-player interaction, but most of it is indirect. There's only one way to overtly harm other players, but one needs to account for their plays as they want to use the same roads you do. The idea of the game is that each player gets dealt some cards and some chits.
Players go in turn placing chits on roads that connect cities.
After everyone has played their chits, everyone moves. One needs the appropriate cards to travel along a road. Most of the time, one card of the right type will do, but some vehicles are slower in certain types of terrain and require two of that card to travel. The goal of the game is to visit all 20 cities and end up at one's secret home at the end of turn 4. The game takes about half an hour and is great fun.
