Freight cards and passengers

A train must be assembled from as many train cards as you can manage. The board showing eight tracks is laid out. Freight card tiles and passenger tiles are shuffled together face-down and then distributed in stacks of six tiles each on all eight tracks. Every player takes a locomotive tile and places his corresponding pawn at one side of the board.

Then players are active in turn: You move your pawn around the corner to the next side of the board and take the top tile from one of the three stacks there; if, then, you have now as many tiles of that type as there are colored dots on the tile, you can put down this set next to your locomotive or at the end of the train. Train car tiles showing only one dot can be placed immediately next to the locomotive or the last car in the train. Passenger tiles are stacked openly.

Tiles showing an action symbol can be used at any time for an action, and you can use any number of them in one turn, but must discard each tile you use afterwards; you cannot add it to the train. Action options are: Take another tile from the side of the board where your pawn is standing - move any tile from any stack to any other stack - or move your pawn around one more corner to the next side of the board.

When two stacks on one side of the board have been emptied, you receive a bonus for most, second-most or third-most passengers and win with the longest train.

A pretty, simple placement and collecting game, featuring nice details lice a train tape for measuring the length of trains and nicely designed different train car tiles. The open-faced stacks allow for first tactics in collecting tiles and using actions.
