Rollecate is about a historic steam locomotive, built in 1967 by a famous Dutch engineer. It’s been sitting in storage for the past five years and is eager to get rolling again — and the players of this game will make that happen!
In this smart and innovative tile-laying game, players build new tracks for Rollecate to ride on. But Rollecate is very eager and can’t wait to roll, turning this game into an exciting race against the clock. Causing Rollecate to derail is costly, so players have to try to avoid that.
This game combines tile laying, press-your-luck dice rolling, and tactical set building mechanisms into a swift game that is fun to play for all kinds of players.
The game consists of 55 playing cards, four custom dice, and a wooden train figure.

An easy to learn and fun game, which is enjoyable to play multiple times in a row! Even with single player. The rules are very clear, though they lack some connection with the overview card. The game is also easy to explain. However, the rules concerning 'passing' isn't always immediately understood. A last down side is the size the 'game board' could become. I had to move the tracks several times, since I reached the end of the table. Taken that all in account, Rollecate is very good game that's both simple and challenging. Though, you don't have to pay very close attention to it. I find it very fun to play, and after you finish the first game, you'll start a second and third and maybe more.

Pard: Ещё одна простенькая семейная игра про паровозик, который едет по выстраиваемым перед ним рельсам. Если на нужное ему для проезда число карт железной дороги не хватает, игрок штрафуется соответствующим числом карт, которые берутся их хвоста колеи. Но, если в сбросе получаются парные но рангу карты (а игрок сам регулирует, в каком порядке класть туда карты), то они убираются из игры. Очень удобно, что на одной картинке поместились все правила и состав игры. Я себе нарисовал такие карты:
