There are fare evaders and undercover inspectors but this isn't the morning commute on Route 86.

Melbourne graphic designers Dylan Thorn and Oscar Jackson have created a card game to rival smashed avocados, black jeans and complaining about the weather, as the most Melbourne things going round.

The "tabletop party game" Touched On pits fare evaders and ticket inspectors against each other in a battle to get to the end of a Melbourne tram journey.

"We thought it [public transport] would be an interesting place to begin, because of the way our famous tram network is so embedded into the city of Melbourne and our way of life," Jackson said.
