About this game
Build your Orient Express train and travel across Europe through card drafting. Each round, draft cards from a shared display that extend your train with luxury cars, hire conductors, complete contracts, or advance on the travel track. Five different module decks (use two per game) create enormous variety: one adds murder mystery elements, another introduces famous passengers. Your train grows physically on your player board as you add cars and upgrade first-class compartments. An elegant Helmut Ohley design with surprising depth.
