WHICH ENGINE WILL BE CHAMPION?

The engines are shunting for the title of World Shunting Champion! Each player leads a team of four engines and must get three to the finish, that is be the first to have three engines in the barn. This is not as easy as it sounds because three shunting bridges change their positions between track sections and open and close ever changing tracks and so also change the possibilities to cross track sections.

In your turn you roll all dice – first you move the shunting bridge according to the color rolled. Engines on the bridge are moved with the bridge, and if necessary, afterwards turned back into their original direction.

The number of dots on the other dice determines the distance an engine must move. Each track segment is a movement point. If the track is blocked by an engine you must stop your engine and move the other engine the rest of the way. This can lead to chain reactions: you always move the first engine in line until all dice points are used. When an engine ends up on bumper or in the shingles it must go back to the start. If you move your third engine into the barn you win.

If you want to try a more tactical game you can try the version with the repair tiles. If you have an accident on bumper or shingles and must take the engine back you receive a repair tile. Instead of rolling the color die you can choose a shunting bridge and give back a repair tile.

Voll in Fahrt is fun! You get used to the changes evoked by the shunting bridges fast and if you make clever use of chain reactions you may be able to move more than one of your engines in one turn.
