Description

In Continental Express, you'll be competing against other players to build up your train station and fulfill secret objectives. The game is all about collecting the right train cars and icons to maximize the value of your contract, which you'll choose at the start of the game. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be up and running in no time, drafting cards from three face-up rows and trying to outmaneuver your opponents. The twist is that you'll have to manage your finances carefully, as the cards you want won't always be free - and the only way to get money is to draft it, which means giving up other opportunities. As you take turns drafting cards, you'll have the chance to claim objectives and earn points, as well as recruit characters who can give you special powers and advantages. With events that can shake things up and change the course of the game, you'll need to stay on your toes and adapt your strategy to come out on top. The game is over when one player claims their fourth objective, and the player with the highest score - earned from their contract, objectives, and remaining money - will be declared the winner. With its unique blend of card drafting, set collection, and variable player powers, Continental Express is a fun and challenging game that's perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a quick and exciting experience.
