About this board game
Cube Express is a railroad-building board game for 2–4 players, played in about 80 minutes, set during the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Players take on the roles of visionary railroad magnates, expanding networks of steel tracks across a landscape where steam engines and growing cities signal a new era of progress.
Build your network by laying track and connecting bustling cities. Then transport passengers, resources, and goods to their destinations, helping cities expand while earning rewards for your railroad enterprise. Every connection contributes to the development of the landscape and the prosperity moving along your rails.
Cubes are the currency of progress in Cube Express. Each cube represents an important part of the economic puzzle, from passengers waiting for transportation and resources ready for production to valuable contracts awaiting fulfillment.
- Expand a railroad network across the 19th-century landscape.
- Transport passengers, resources, and goods between destinations.
- Use cubes to represent different opportunities within the growing economy.

As companies compete on the rails, the market value of their shares hangs in the balance. The result is a focused journey through industrial expansion, economic opportunity, and the race to shape the future of a growing railroad empire.
