About the game
By throwing the dice, you will create trains, consisting of locomotives, passenger cars, and boxcars. The longer trains you manage to build, the more points you earn for the transported people and goods. Try to make your train arrive to the finish line! On a player's turn, they roll dice with train cars and locomotives on them. After each roll, the player has to put aside one type of the car, to build the train. At the end of the turn, the player must meet the following conditions: at least one locomotive at the beginning, at least one passenger car, and at least one boxcar. Boxcars may not be in front of the passenger. After the train is ready to go, the player advances their corresponding score tokens depending on cars in the train - different for passengers, three types of goods and locomotives. When one player reaches the end of the score track, all players score points depending on the order in which the tokens are, and the corresponding tokens get reset. When the locomotives go back and forth the game ends and the player with the most points wins.
