About this game

A tile placement game involving placing cards to form railway networks and moving Locos to get cargoes from one station to another. The same track cards are also used to move Locos, as the Rail Cars which must be picked up and dropped off at particular stations, and to power special actions. This game is a translation of HellRail: Second Perdition, with a different theme.

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.
