Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been on a board game binge for a little while now and happened upon this at some point. I'm a fan of train games (loved Sid Meier's Railroads series...before the recent one, I mean) and this looked to be something that could satisfy my urge to build train lines.
Overall, the game is fast-paced and you can whip through a two-player game in 15-20 minutes. You lay down track pieces to connect a collection of cities you draw at the start of the game. The first person to connect all their cities ends the game and the losing players lose points for every track they don't lay to connect their respective cities.
The main issue I have with the game, and I think others have mentioned it, is that if you luck out with the cities you draw, you have a significant advantage over a player that draws cities that are just a bit more out of the way than others. This combined with the fact that you can piggyback on other players' networks to reach destinations means you could connect to a player's network and finish the game in no time. It IS part of the strategy but it shortens the game a bit.
So, while this is a fun little short game when you want some fast-paced game play, if you're looking for something more sophisticated and involving, I suggest Ticket to Ride. And, if you can, get the expansion, Ticket to Ride - USA 1910 Expansion DOW 7216, since it gives you playing card sized cards over the miniature ones that come with the original game.

Europe needs railroads and it is your job to provide them. The players work together to build a vast railroad network across all of Europe. But, all is not cooperation. The players compete to be the first to connect a set of five cities. The first to connect his five cities will win the round. After several rounds, the best track builder will win the game! Players: 2-6 Ages: 8 and up Playing Time: 30 minutes
