Players travel around the candy ties of the railroad tracks attempting to collect cards. The first player to reach the candy box, with three cards of one kind, is the winner.

Players roll and move along the white and pink ties, the yellow squares and railroad crossing count as one space. Players attempt to collect three cards of a kind white or pink. When a player reaches the "crossing" space he may choose to go on either circular track. Once started he must continue to travel clockwise around the circle. When a player reaches the "switch" space he must choose to continue around the circle if he does not have cards for "three of a kind".
