Description

Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure with Orient-Express, a cooperative racing game that's been delighting players since 1986. In this simple yet exciting game, 2 to 4 players work together to help detective Sir Henry reach Constantinople by train before the Admiral's ship arrives. The twist is that some track sections are damaged and need to be repaired before Sir Henry can move forward, adding an extra layer of challenge and strategy to the game. On each turn, players roll a die to determine whether they'll move the Admiral's ship or their own locomotives, creating an element of suspense and unpredictability. As players travel through the game, they can pick up repair pieces at different train stations, but Sir Henry can only travel on locomotives that are in good condition. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, Orient-Express is a quick and entertaining game that's perfect for a fun evening with friends or family. The goal is simple: work together to get Sir Henry to his destination before the Admiral, and you'll be cheering and high-fiving your way to victory. With its unique blend of cooperation, dice rolling, and train-themed excitement, Orient-Express is a classic game that's sure to delight players of all ages.
