Continental Express

Players build a personal station by drafting cards to assemble train cars, money, character abilities and company tokens in order to satisfy secret contract objectives. Each turn a player takes one card from three face-up rows, paying 0–2 dollars depending on card position; money itself must be drafted and is used to buy higher-cost picks. Matching sets of train-car icons can be discarded to claim objective cards that score toward contracts, while characters grant one-time special actions (for example taking a specific train car, seizing another player’s money, or choosing a company token). Event cards periodically refresh the available objectives or the small-card array. The game ends after a player claims a fourth objective and final turns are completed; players score their secret contract, claimed objectives and remaining money.
