Game of Trains

Product Information

Take a carriage card face-up in the centre of the play area and use its special ability to affect your (and potentially your opponents’) lines in some way. Le matériel est comme les règles de ce jeu, assez simple mais c'est le genre de jeu avec des mécaniques simples et diaboliques comme je les aime. Three players is not a problem and a good sweet spot for interacting with each other and playing time. There is no official solo mode, but crusador84 came up with his rules which can be accessed using the link. Trains’ is the sort of game that begins training montages glaring at pictures of Dominion stuck to its mirror.

This makes such a deliciously thematic environmental connection, because you’re going to generate a lot of waste making railroads. Gain enough points from your railways and you will ultimately manage the most powerful railroads in modern Japan! It’s not the cards (they do look lovely) that won me over, it’s the fact that you have two ways to win that make this game that much enjoyable.

Every game will evolve differently with unique twists and turns as you control the movement of goods across the game map! However, if you’re looking for that extra little layer of strategy to your card building proceedings and want a new way to board your card stacking accomplishments, playing Trains is undoubtedly the best way to satisfy your needs. In Rack-O some of the cards have abilities that players can take when they discard those cards from their rack.

While there is no way to stop another player’s expansion regardless of how crowded the board becomes, tight quarters will at least force players to weigh the value of their money a little more deliberately (you’ll need more of it if you want to build in the same location as an opponent’s rails). And having to manipulate your train cars in specific ways forces players to think a few moves ahead as they consider how they might be able to get everything in line. By far the most frequently played games in my house are reasonably simple and quick card games that we pull out to unwind after dinner, and the most recent of these acquisitions is the ingenious little Game of Trains from Brain Games. I’m not exaggerating though, the box for this game is very small – It definitely won’t take up a lot of precious shelf real estate in your collection.So you can take an action, but it often takes several actions to get the railcars just the way you want them. Romero created Train over the course of nine months, [1] with the game releasing on April 29, 2009, [2] at a Games for Change conference. While you still have you main currency (reflected as trains), you now have the Lay Rails and the Station Expansion cards, allowing you to lay the rails towards cities and build stations in those cities to net you the most points.
