There's a caboose on the loose! Lay down numbered track cards in Loose Caboose! in a race to keep the caboose from going off the rails. The higher the number, the more dice you must roll to move the caboose. Don't let the train derail or else you'll pick up penalty points. End with the lowest score and you've engineered a win! —description from the publisher
