Description

Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure across the United States with Ride the Rails, a game designed by John Bohrer and published in 2020. In this exciting game, 3 to 5 players take on the role of investors, building railway tracks and delivering passengers to various cities. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be hooked from the start as you navigate the hexagon grid, picking up and delivering passengers while managing your stock holdings. As you ride the rails, be strategic about which railroad companies to invest in, as shareholders will also earn points. With each round introducing a new railroad company, the game is full of surprises. Deliver passengers to as many cities as possible to earn the most points and emerge victorious. With a playtime of just 45 to 60 minutes, Ride the Rails is the perfect game for a fun and challenging evening with friends.
