Who it's for

Families with train-loving children from around five, and anyone who wants a racing game with slightly more decision than roll-and-move.

Not for you if…

You want depth or fairness, because the dice and a well-placed curve can undo a good position. Adult players will exhaust it quickly.

Vibe's take

Bright and bouncy with a streak of mischief, since redirecting someone else is usually the best move. Twenty minutes, no downtime.

About this game

Locomotives race for the finish station, but the track is built as you go. Roll, lay a tile, and watch the rails reroute under someone else's engine. Only one train gets to pull into the destination first.

The track is laid during the race, not beforeEngines push each other along the railsDifferent layout in every game
