About the game
Travel by Trolley is a 200-card expansion pack for Trial by Trolley. This expansion introduces new vacation-themed cards to the game about the highs, lows, and petty annoyances of modern travel. In Trial by Trolley, one player is the conductor of an out-of-control trolley speeding toward a fork in the tracks. Everyone else splits into two teams and must use their wits and their cards to convince the conductor to spare their lives! Players accomplish this goal by adding "innocent" cards to their track, "guilty" cards to their opponent's track, and modifier cards to anything the want. Once the tracks are down and the modifiers are in play, players must verbally argue to convince the judge which track to go down. When the conductor makes their decision, everyone on the losing track receives a "death" token. At the end of a round after everyone has had the opportunity to be the conductor, the player(s) with the fewest death tokens win!

Questions and answers
Travel by Trolley supports 3–13 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Travel by Trolley is 15–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Travel by Trolley for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.

The catalogue lists Travel by Trolley as an expansion for Trial by Trolley. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Trial by Trolley to use it. Check that your edition of Trial by Trolley is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
