Trick of the Rails

Hat mir gut gefallen. Echt mal ein anderes Stichspiel. Hat auf jeden Fall ne Lernkurve. Keine Ahnung, mit wem wir es spielen werden.

I don't have a history of playing trick taking games, but this game left me completely flat. My hand contained only low and middle numbers, so I think I got to make one real choice throughout the entirety of the game. The essence is that one player starts by playing a card. Everyone else then has to play a card of that color if they have one. Then whoever played the highest numbered card of the correct color gets to take a bonus card being bid on. These cards get assigned to trains, or put into your stock tableau where they score at the end based on how valuable the train got. This didn't connect with me at all. ★ Art, Iconography and components functional ☆ Clever or interesting mechanisms ★ Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players ☆ Multiple plays stay interesting ☆ Low or mitigatable luck elements ★☆☆☆☆ Raw enjoyment
