Game description from the publisher: It is the height of the Steam Age and the whistle of the Iron Horse harkens the boom of small towns across the country into major hubs of transportation and economic growth. In Trains and Stations, a new take on train games, players must make deliveries, develop buildings, and profit from their decisions while working with and against other players. Will you focus on establishing mining operations in an attempt to gain a monopoly on coal, silver, and gold? Or perhaps you will focus on laying tracks across the landscape and helping other players move their goods—taking your cut, of course. Every game will evolve differently with unique twists and turns as you control the movement of goods across the game map!
