Engine, Engine No. 9

About this board game

Engine, Engine No. 9 is a 20-minute board game for 2-4 players, released in 2010. It challenges locomotives to race for the coveted title of world champion.

Under the light of the full moon, the locomotives prepare to race across the yard. The goal is simple: be the first locomotive to reach the destination station.

Getting there is far from straightforward. The tracks switch quickly, locomotives can push one another, and a poorly timed move may send your engine off the rails.

Players need to stay alert as the race develops. The central challenges include:

• Racing rival locomotives toward the destination station
• Dealing with tracks that change quickly
• Pushing other locomotives during the contest
• Avoiding the danger of ending up off the rails

Only one locomotive can enter the destination station, making the finish a direct contest for position. In Engine, Engine No. 9, reaching the station first is everything, but the shifting tracks and locomotive collisions can change the race before you know it.

With its focused 20-minute play time and support for 2-4 players, this locomotive race creates a compact competition around timing, position, and staying on track. Watch the route, handle the pressure from rival engines, and make your run for the finish.
