Tramways Engineer's Workbook (2018)

About this game

Tramways Engineer's Workbook is a board game released in 2018 with minimalist components: 1 book of 100 laminated pages 2 erase pens a rule set of 16 pages In solo play, this is a book of puzzles; each puzzle adds a new rule, and you have to match the different goal within a given number of rounds. In duo play, the game becomes a competitive pick-up-and-deliver game with different victory conditions. In both configuration, you draw lines on the left side of the book which shows a grid map and you use tickets on the right side to perform actions. The entire book has a legacy feeling since at the end of the book, you will play with ALL the rules of Tramways, another game from the same author. Open the book, and draw lines to match the goals... —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 3.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
