Trains and Stations

About this board game

Trains and Stations is a railway-themed board game for 3–5 players, with games lasting about 45 minutes.

Set during the height of the Steam Age, the game follows the growth of small towns into major transportation and economic hubs. Players make deliveries, develop buildings, and profit from the decisions they make while working with—and against—one another.

Each game offers different opportunities as players help control the movement of goods across the map. You may pursue mining operations to seek a monopoly on valuable resources, or concentrate on laying tracks and helping other players move their goods while taking a cut.

• Make deliveries and develop buildings.
• Lay tracks across the game map.
• Compete for coal, silver, and gold.
• Work with or against other players as the network develops.

The choices in Trains and Stations create an evolving experience filled with unique twists and turns. A focus on mining can lead toward control of key resources, while expanding the railway can make you an essential part of other players’ plans.

Whether you aim to establish resource operations or build connections across the landscape, every decision can affect the flow of goods and the opportunities available to everyone. Published in 2013, Trains and Stations offers a fresh take on train games through competition, cooperation, deliveries, and economic growth.
