The station is jam-packed full of excited people ready to ride the rails. Mason is off to Chicago, Ashley to Denver, and Hunter is going all the way to San Francisco. The train arrives, and passengers start detraining the sleeper cars with the red-caped porters expertly loading their luggage onto the baggage carts. Enthusiastic travelers crowd the doors, anxiously anticipating their adventure cruising across America in style!

In Ride the Rails, you will invest in railroad companies, build railway track across America, and deliver passengers to as many cities as possible. Each round, a new Railroad company is introduced to the game, and each Railroad company has its own special placement rules! Deliver passengers to as many cities as possible to earn the most points. Be cautious in your travels, as shareholders of Railroads that you use will also earn points!

Ride the Rails is a game of simple rules with varied strategies and tactics for 3-5 players ages 12 and up, playing in about an hour.

Claire ★★★★★

Didn't expect a train game to get this tense — the route cards make every station stop a real decision. Watching Mason head to Chicago while Ashley's stuck waiting for Denver is oddly satisfying.

Emma ★★★★★

The passenger cards are what make this one shine — chasing Mason to Chicago while my wife sends Ashley to Denver gets competitive fast. Turns out routing people to their destinations is way more fun than it has any right to be.

Riley V. ★★★★★

The passenger destinations printed right on the board make setup effortless, and watching everyone's routes collide as the train fills up is genuinely tense. We played three rounds back-to-back and the race to grab the best station spots never got old.
