Game of Trains

Product Information

There are 8 different actions that are shown as icons above the numbers on the cards. Some impact just the active player’s train and others impact all players. The different card abilities. Important: You must be able to move the card exactly 2 spaces, so the ability cannot be used on the second or first card from the right.

The premise is simple. Build the best train on the island and deliver goods to fulfil contracts. However, Dan Keltner and Seth Jaffee have cleverly designed Isle of Trains to be much more than meets the eye! Hold onto your caboose – let’s see if this game delivers the goods. Carriages Take: take one random passenger from the bag and place it next to your engine. If you ever need to take a passenger from the bag but it is empty take one VP token instead. Note: If any player fulfills the winning condition as an effect of this ability, the game stops immediately and this player becomes the winner (any other players who would still have to put a new card in place of the removed one do not get to act). Load: When loading you take a card from your hand or a passenger and place it on a train car. The train cards must have the matching symbol to show you the type of cargo you can load onto it. Loading relates to both cargo and passenger; they can be loaded into either your train or an opponent’s. If you choose to load into your opponent’s train you will also get the bonus action shown on the top of the card. You cannot load more cargo onto a train car than it states as you will end up over capacity. Some cards will show multiple cargo types but once you have chosen to load cargo onto the card it’ll only count as that type from then on.Game of Trains offers more choices during play. Players first choose whether to draw a new card or use a face up card ability. The various types of abilities also offer more choices in how to manipulate cards along the way. If at any time there are two cards with identical abilities next to the draw pile both cards are discarded!

Drive from Denver to Hot Sulphur Springs in this beautiful detailed journey through rugged mountainous terrain.

Most of the time you’re just chugging along working on your own line. Don’t get tunnel vision though– you’ll want to keep an eye on what your opponents are doing in case you need to derail their plans, or to make sure you don’t discard a card with an ability on it that they may be able to use to win, or whether you need to discard a card that has a matching ability to one already on the table to remove a card they might have wanted to use (see, I told you there was a little more thinking to it!) Loading cargo and passengers into opponents’ trains is important on the Isle of Trains as it’ll also gain you extra bonuses that turn! But this will help the other train conductors get a little closer to completing their goals, by giving them the cargo or passengers, which they can then use for deliveries and big end game points! Building and filling freight trains with cargo is an expensive business! How on earth do you hope to finance all of this in a 54-card game? With cards! You may need to say goodbye to that Megahopper and Oil Refinery for a few rounds – those two cards can be discarded to pay for the shiny new Level Two Engine you need. Use advanced options and filters to make your selection, then move, rotate, delete and perform many more actions on that selection. No more teeny tiny 3D asset preview window. The new Preview Palette allows you to resize and reposition it to always have a clear 3D preview of the selected asset.
