Description

In Switch and Signal, you and up to three friends team up as railway engineers, signalmen, switchmen, and yardmasters, working together to load trains with cargo and navigate a complex railway network to deliver goods to their final destination. The game is all about cooperation and communication, as you use switches and signals to guide trains along the tracks, trying to get as many trains to the port city as possible. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you can dive right into the game and start playing, making it accessible to new players. As you play, you'll build a modular board, creating a unique network of routes and tracks each time, which adds a layer of excitement and challenge to the game. Your goal is to earn victory points by delivering cargo, and if you work together efficiently, you can achieve a perfect game with 60 points. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, Switch and Signal is a great option for a fun and engaging game night with friends or family, and its cooperative nature makes it a great choice for teams and groups. Designed by David Thompson and first published in 2014, Switch and Signal has become a popular choice for train and transportation enthusiasts, and its print and play format makes it easy to get started and begin playing right away.
