Höchste Eisenbahn (2012)

About this game

Chaos on the rails! In Höchste Eisenbahn, players need to match train cars as quickly as possible, taking care to link up cars that are the same type, are the same color, or have the same number of wheels. That shouldn't be a problem, right? But what if everyone is searching for train cars at the same time? Whoever puts together the longest train will win and move to the station in victory – just be sure that you collect a locomotive that matches your train as soon as possible! Höchste Eisenbahn can be played at different difficulty levels so that newcomers and train masters can compete together. The game also includes variant rules to allow children as young as three to play.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
