About the Game

Run the Rails transports players into a vibrant world of train travel, where the thrill of building and navigating railways through stunning landscapes takes center stage. The game's charming illustrations and engaging components bring the railway theme to life, creating an immersive experience that captures the essence of adventure and strategic planning.

In this competitive game, players take turns playing Rail Cards in descending order from Center Rail Cards, ensuring they match the designated train series. Pass Tokens offer strategic flexibility, allowing players to skip turns or fold when necessary. Completing train series or parts of them grants opportunities to swap or claim Elite Status tiles, adding layers of strategy. The objective is to accumulate points, with the game concluding when a player reaches 175 points. The player with the highest score emerges victorious, crowned the master of the rails!
