The station is jam-packed full of excited people ready to ride the rails. Mason is off to Chicago, Ashley to Denver, and Hunter is going all the way to San Francisco. The train arrives, and passengers start detraining the sleeper cars with the red-capped porters expertly loading their luggage onto the baggage carts. Enthusiastic travelers crowd the doors, anxiously anticipating their adventure cruising across America in style!
In Ride the Rails, you will invest in railroad companies, build railway track across the United States, and deliver passengers to as many cities as possible. Each round, a new railroad company is introduced to the game, and each railroad company has its own special placement rules! Deliver passengers to as many cities as possible to earn the most points. Be cautious in your travels as shareholders of railroads that you use will also earn points!
Ride the Rails is the second title in the Iron Rail series by Capstone Games.

Railway tracks and shares across USA - Reminds of Chicago Express (and umpteen other ex-Winsome games) with some volatility due to the share-taking - difficult if you are not buddied up. Plays fast though, with more time spent counting points after each passenger. Excellent production.

Left with a bit of a bad feeling after playing this as there were players who were frozen out of taking delivery turns. It felt like a tight, strong game up to that point but that sucked the life out of it. Lots of player interaction which can lead to you being isolated by the moves of ithers which I found felt unjust as it wasn't my own mistakes that cost me. Overall ended up not loving it.

:star::star::star::star::nostar::nostar: [b]- Good! Definitely willing to play again.[/b] First impression was quite good, and I want to play this more. Great gameplay for such a simple ruleset.
