How It Plays
Crayon Rail System
You literally draw your train routes on the board with crayons — it's creative, tactile, and uniquely fun!
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
Network and Route Building

Pick-up and Deliver
You pick up goods from one location and deliver them to another for rewards — efficient routes mean big payoffs.
