Take a Train

Players act as railway investors competing at locomotive and wagon auctions. Over three rounds, they bid for locomotives, considering each vehicle’s price, speed, and profit multiplier, then attach valuable wagons to their trains. During the wagon stage, players choose from available cards, pass, or pay to replace the displayed wagons before selecting. A round ends when a locomotive receives its fifth wagon. Players calculate each train’s wagon value multiplied by its locomotive’s multiplier, and the player with the most money after three rounds wins.
