(More customer reviews)You will never know how much fun this game is until you play it. The first time I was invited to play, I thought "Trains? What's fun about that?" But I gave it a shot and have been hooked ever since.
The premise is quite simple, as is the game play. Quickly put, this is a game of supply and demand. Your job is to connect the cities that "want" to the cities that "have," making a tidy profit along the way. With every trip, if you plan well, you may buy more rail line or increase your engines capacity or speed.The first person to connect five major cities and have $250 million wins. Bad planning you will find you stuck in Canada with no way home.
I wish they used games like this when I was in school. It teaches geography, economics, strategy, math and history all in one shot. It is a great family game, and even now it is one of the few games that my wife and mother will happily agree to play with me.
If you enjoy it, try other versions such as Eurorails, India Rails, or Japan Rails for different geography lessons but equal fun.
