A faster version of Yardmaster, with a surprising play mechanic (a community hand).Quick, quick rounds, very easy to learn and different from the original.A great companion game to Yardmaster, a terrific travel game for those short periods of gaming and when everyone is tired of screens.

Arrived as expected. Great quick little game.

too simple

Quick & fun game to play, easy to explain, easy to toss in bag. Can be used as filler between other games or to pass time at restaurant while waiting for food.

Boring and too simple. Was fun for a few gameplays, but now won't be played even as a nano-filler.

So you're adding cars onto a train using the choose-a-card-and-pass-the-rest method like in Sushi Go. Each card has two cars with different combos of numbers (2,3, and 4) and colors. When you add a car to your train, it must match either the color or number of the previous car, kinda like a linear Uno. If you can't make a match, flip a card over so that it is a low-scoring wild car. All the numbers on the cars are added up for your points, plus extra points for the player who has the longest run of one color. There's also a few bonus objectives you can throw in for some more variety.The strategy here is low; you only decide if you want to go for high numbers or longest run of color. Or maybe burn a card your neighbor might want. But since every time you pass your hand you also draw a new card, there's more luck and you don't really have to think much about what cards might come back around to you. That simplicity is a selling point for some, so I'll say that the biggest downside is that the game's art is VERY dull.I impulse bought this because I found it pretty cheap and I think I'll keep it only because it's easy enough for my five-year-olds to play. If you want something similar but more charming, go for Sushi Go or Best Treehouse Ever. If you want something similar but meatier, go for Fairy Tale or Among the Stars.
