Vibe's take

The route-scratching itch of the original with a nervy stealing mechanic layered on top. Push your luck, then pay for it.

About this game

The famous train game stripped down to a deck. You collect matching train cards, bank them into your yard, and cash them in to complete destination routes between cities. The twist: rivals can force a train robbing, snatching cards you worked hard to gather before you lock them in.
