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.

It's a solid cube rails game. I don't think I like it as much as the ones with money and auctions but for how simple it is it still creates some nice shared incentive situations and interesting board play. Better with four but still not bad at three.

My last train game. Super tight, very twisty.personally like this better that Iberian Rails. But you aren’t going to be friends when this ends lol.

After first play everyone really liked it, better than Irish Gauge which we had just played before. The emergent strategy is so interesting, and compared to IG it's a little more clear tactically what you ought to do which makes you feel a little more in control. Some people may not enjoy the mathiness, but I find the admin sorta fun! It's challenging to know how to actually pull ahead of the crowd and stay ahead. I think my favourite of the Iron Rails series. Make sure to use the Heavy Cardboard scoring method.
