Tramways Engineer's Workbook, released in 2018, is a super compact and innovative gaming experience, presented in a book format. Forget giant boxes! Here, you get a book of 100 laminated pages, two erase pens, and a 16-page rulebook. It's proof that less can be much more, especially when the design is clever.

In solo mode, the book transforms into a series of progressive puzzles. Each challenge introduces a new rule, and your mission is to meet specific objectives within a limited number of rounds. It's like an intensive course in route planning and optimization, where the difficulty scales organically and addictively. Perfect for those who love a good brain challenge and want to hone their strategic skills.

When you call a friend to play, the game transforms into a fierce competitive pick-up-and-deliver game for two players. Victory conditions change, and the focus shifts to outperforming your opponent in transport efficiency. In both modes, the core gameplay remains the same: you draw lines on the grid map on the left side of the book to create your routes, while using the tickets on the right side to perform strategic actions.

A brilliant touch is the 'legacy feeling' the book offers. As you progress through the pages, new rules are introduced, culminating in the full experience of the game Tramways, by the same author. It's a journey of learning and discovery that gradually prepares you for the more complex version. So, grab your pen, open the book, and start drawing your way to victory!
