In Trains and Stations, a new take on train games, players must make deliveries, develop buildings, and profit from their decisions while working with and against other players. The tokens used for rails and stations — colored cubes and colorless hexagonal cylinders, respectively — are not terribly representative, but they are simple and easily distinguishable. At the end of the game, you can actually see that you accomplished something by looking over your network. The game's rules state that "the game is over when it ends", meaning the player can stop once they have reached the camp, or attempt to liberate the prisoners. The fact that you can use the board with the cards you have to gain victory points is a much needed breath of fresh air when it comes to deckbuilding games.Also, I have really enjoyed playing it with Caitlin (my 10-year-old) she picked up how to play straight away and we played four games in a row with her winning one of them and wanting to play more the next day, but the timing wasn’t right. While decisions do matter, as I mentioned, there is also some luck in the game, which more or less evens the field. Draw a card from the face down train car pile and replace a car in their train line with the drawn card. The railcar card you are removing from your line is placed face-up in the centre of the play area next to the draw and discard piles. Based on their hand, they can then choose to purchase more cards with their “train” cards, build a station in a city in their railroad network with a “station” card, put down more rails with “lay rails” cards, or perform certain actions with “action” cards.

Additional Lay Rails and Station Expansion cards are available for purchase during the game, but your starting Normal Trains are the only ones you’ll get (more powerful train cars are purchased during the game).

In fact, throughout the game the players kept making comparisons between Trains cards and Dominion cards. This is really killer with “Tourist Train” in the game, because every time it is played, it scores a point. So far, the only problem, I’ve seen is counteracting people who solely focus on cycling through their deck and hardly build up their railroad network.
