Catalogue information
America in the 19th century: railway construction is booming. These are heydays for pioneers with foresight. Everyone wants to be the fastest in expanding their rail network across all states. Who will be the first to connect all of their cities? In this laying game it comes down to being the first to connect the five cities (which you get through cards) with each other. The player's turn places either two rails on single lines or 1 rail on a double line. The latter represent the difficult to build tracks over rivers or through mountains. The game board shows a simplified but very clear map of the United States with the necessary cities within a network of triangles. In the beginning, everyone places their starting pawn on an intersection of their choice. Building is allowed from this point. As soon as two (or more) networks are connected to each other, the players involved may place branches at any place on this network. If you look carefully and connect (or have it connected) at the right moment, you can certainly benefit from this ... After all, what has been laid by someone else does not have to be placed yourself. After a few games you get to know the game board well and you know where the cities that are difficult to connect are located. A full game usually consists of several games. After each round, it is checked how many tracks are missing per player. These numbers are kept on a score line. The game (usually) ends when someone could already lay more than 13 bars too few. Fun, challenging and always different. Trans America is without a doubt a great family game, both young and old have an equal chance of winning. Everyone can quickly understand the rules and a game does not take long. In addition, a healthy portion of happiness and some spatial awareness are useful but not of decisive importance. Number of players: 2 - 6 Age: from 8 years old Content: - 1 game board - 85 training rails - 35 city maps - 6 stations - 6 locomotives - 1 starting player card - game rules
