Description

In Yardmaster, you're in charge of organizing and managing freight trains, making sure everything is where it's supposed to be and ready for departure. This fast-paced game is designed for 2 to 5 players and can be learned quickly, with simple rules that get you started in no time. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, you can jump into the action and compete to build trains comprised of railcars of different goods and values. As you take turns, you'll draw cargo cards, buy railcars, and swap exchange tokens to build your trains, all while trying to outmaneuver your opponents. With the help of bonus cargo cards, you can gain advantages like paying less for new railcars or drawing free cargo cards. The goal is to be the first player to reach 16 or 18 points, depending on the number of players, and claim victory as the ultimate Yardmaster.
