TransAmerica
Link five secret cities by rail, ideally using track someone else paid for.
Who it's for
Mixed groups of four to six who want a short railway game with light hidden information and no fiddly economy.
Not for you if…
You want depth or meaningful long-term planning. Card luck can hand someone a cluster of neighbouring cities, decisions are few, and experienced players may find it thin over repeated plays.
Vibe's take
Brisk and companionable, with a running joke about who is obviously heading for Seattle and refuses to admit it.

About this game
Every player secretly holds five American cities that need connecting by rail. You lay one or two track segments a turn, and once your network touches someone else's you can build off theirs too. First to link all five cities ends the round.
