This is a neat strategy/puzzle game hybrid, kind of like a light RTS. If you're a train fanatic or even just slightly interested in them, this game is for you. The rules are fairly simple but the game can become chaotic quickly if you don't manage the board well. That being said, the game can be taken at your own pace with fast forward and pause functions, which making use of both features is essential. The game looks and sounds very nice, but one thing that caught my attention was the fact that the game takes place in notable time periods around the world, specifically around the late 1800s and 1900s. Its a little subtle, but seeing the slow changes over the time periods to the trains and scenery was a nice touch.
