About the Game

A quick-fire game of searching, moving and forfeits...but keep your elbows in!

Players are given a starting station and must then find it on one of the 36 journey cards (each has four stations): the entry will tell them the time of their next train and where it will take them (to be noted). Eventually, each player will see that their next station stop is HOME...those first home, with the most money, will win the game.

However, would that it were so simple! Along the way you may be accosted for your ticket, required to chase your connection, help other players on _their_ journey and/or enjoy a well-earned cup of tea (or even lunch!).

Race the Rails is an exhilarating game of speedy observation and dexterity for up to twelve simultaneous players.
