This is a simple flip and write game. Each turn a card flips, and then players mark a number of circles along one train line equal to the number on the card. The lines overlap, and if you hit a filled space you have to stop unless it's a special ability card. There are also star cards that give you vp equal to twice the number of lines crossing in the box you write it in, so there's some tension about where to leave lines waiting for star cards. The trick of the game is each line can only have so many numbered entered into it, so you need some lines to overlap and double up on others. End game negative points for unfilled boxes. Overall it's not bad but fails to inspire. :star: Art, Iconography and components functional :star: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :star: Multiple plays stay interesting :nostar: Low or mitigatable luck elements :star::star::nostar::nostar::nostar: Raw enjoyment
