PLAYED FOR YOU

Höchste Eisenbahn

An incredibly fast train game

Shunting is the order of the day, as quickly as possible and including adhering to variety, color and number of wheels of a wagon! In can get a bit hectic when all are searching at the same time, because only if you put together the longest train you will win!

The 60 cards showing wagons are shuffled and spread out face down, cards should all be positioned by themselves. Each player is dealt a locomotive secretly. On a starting signal all simultaneously collect wagons for their locomotives which correspond to the locomotive and then the previous wagon at least either in variety, color or number of wheels. You have the locomotive in one hand, search with the other and put a correct card immediately into the hand with the locomotive and go on searching; you turn up cards one by one; if you do not want a card you but it back openly. You can take an open card any time.

The order of collected cards cannot be changed. When nobody can collect cards anymore, the stacks are checked. You turn the stack over and start with the locomotive to place card for card; if you made a mistake you discard the wrong card and all others beneath it, your train is complete and you win with the longest one.

For younger players you lay out the cards openly and when playing abilities are very different you play open-faced, too, but better players may only take card that ONLY correspond in one characteristics.

Höchste Eisenbahn -a fantastic training for looking fast and close and grab fast and well-directed and - very important - hold on tight to the stack! Memory and switching directions in your mind fast is necessary the card was red and had three wheels and belonged to the load train, so now I need …?
