HellRail: Third Perdition (2001)

About this game

Mayfair's update of the Galloglass game, HellRail: Second Perdition. There are several refinements, but the major change is the addition of many more circle powers and the circle powers are now randomly distributed (and can change during the game). And yes, the train engines are wood instead of pewter.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
