About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for the adrenaline rush in Coaster Park! Here, your mission is to build the most epic and thrilling roller coasters that money can buy. To achieve this, you'll need to assemble a top-notch crew and use your auctioning skills to snag the best track pieces before your competitors do. Think fast, plan well, and make winning bids to secure the components that will turn your park into a roaring success.

But don't be fooled; it's not just about bidding and grabbing pieces. Physics is your ally (or enemy!). Every roller coaster you build is tested with a marble. If it makes it to the end of the track, mission accomplished! If not, the project is scrapped, and you need to rethink the entire engineering to avoid further failures. It's a strategy game with a touch of dexterity, where planning meets the fun of seeing (or not seeing) your creation work. With quick games lasting 30 to 60 minutes and accessible rules, Coaster Park is a great choice for those who enjoy auction games and a light physical challenge. It's your chance to prove you have what it takes to be the king of amusement parks, one track piece at a time!
