About the game
Game of Trains is a fast and fun card game where you need to arrange your train line in ascending numerical order before other players. Each card represents a train car with a number and a special ability that can help you or hinder opponents. On your turn, you can draw a card from the deck to replace one in your line, or use a discarded card as a special power. These powers include swapping cars, destroying others' cards, and other surprises. The game is easy to learn but strategic when deciding when to use each card. With quick rounds of about 20 minutes, it's perfect for playing with friends or family who enjoy light mental challenges with a dash of direct interaction.
