Description

Railroads have proven throughout recent history to be an industry unlike any other, with the power to shape countries, define economies, and create vast empires of resources and wealth! To be a successful railroad baron, you must possess the intelligence, cunning, and luck to make the right things happen at the right time. That's what this game is all about!

In this fast and fun card game, you build a hand of cards filled with Engines, Tracks, and Cargo.

When a player completes a set and creates a train, they get to score the top Station card. If any of the Cargo on their train matches the demand of that Station, the player scores even MORE points! By using some observation and deduction skills as the game progresses, you can skillfully choose when to score a Station and maximize your points!

Gameplay is very quick, but you have to manage your cards closely, because every turn, you must pass one of your cards to the player on your left! Be careful not to send them the card they need to score big!!

All aboard!!
