Pocket Rails
Railroad shares gameplay in a 10–15 minute drafting card game for 2–4 players. Each round, players simultaneously place one card in their Portfolio and one in the shared Rail Yard, then sort cards by company. Cards show a city, company, and good; three cards with the same city and company in a Portfolio become over-invested and are discarded. After the second and third rounds, portfolios score companies and goods based on matching cards in the Rail Yard. The highest score wins.
