Description
All Aboard! Using a train theme, this unique strategy game uses cooperative play with visual route planning and collaborative planning along with predictive analysis skills. Each player takes turns playing cards from their hand. Players work together to deliver goods from cities to the port, but you need to make sure the rail switches allow the trains through and that you are also not stopped by red light signals. Use the dice to see how far your slow, medium and fast trains can travel. Special actions allow other players to support you. If you and the other players cannot complete deliveries before the cards run out, you lose the game. However, you all win if you deliver all the goods to the destination port. The two-sided board allows you to vary the game and adjust the difficulty level. Designed by an intelligence analyst for the US Department of Defense, this game is interesting and engaging without being overly complex. ~ Gina
