Overview
CargoTrain is a fast-paced card game with a train theme. Deliver as much cargo to the factories as you can. Plan carefully. Invest wisely. Anticipate your opponents' moves, and deliver the most stock in the quickest way possible. And, what’s most important, fulfill trade contracts. Let your adversaries watch the sparks fly from under the wheels of your dashing train! Every turn in this game is divided into two phases. First is the planning phase, in which players plan their moves by playing move cards. Next is the action phase; this is the heart of the game. Players reveal their move cards one by one and perform actions (load cargo, deliver cargo, upgrade train, switch cargo order on the stations, pick up a new contract). There are many possibilities; players must choose wisely and plan ahead their moves. The gameboard is made from cards and players change it during the game.
