The Train Game

A fast-paced card game set on Melbourne’s train network. Players collect a complete set of stations from one line along with the matching train card. On each turn, a card is discarded and replaced with either the last played station or a card from the draw pile. Ticket inspectors, undercover inspectors, ticket cards and train cards introduce special effects, including fines and forced line changes. Players must watch the cards discarded by others, as they may provide the final card needed for another player to win.

    Bought the game after watching Andrew (designer of Footy Feud) interview Mark. Played it once after getting it and pulled it out again on the weekend. It's ok, kind of frustrating when you have a handful of stations and are forever drawing/discarding cards looking for a train. Feel like it could have benefited from more playtesting and development. Strong idea though and I love the theme, can't deny that Mark and Lauren have worked their butts of to create something they believe in, and I appreciate that.
