Ride the Rails
45m - 60m
2 - 5 Players
Ages 12+
This mechanic usually requires players to pick up an item or good at one location on the playing board and bring it to another location on the playing board. Initial placement of the item can be either predetermined or random. The delivery of the good usually gives the player money to do more actions with. In most cases, there is a game rule or another mechanic that determines where the item needs to go.

Fascinating rail cube game where simple rules still permit a depth of play - bottom right corner seems to have an advantage, especially with lots of close towns. But for all I know, there may be other strategies I have missed, as despite its simplicity I am hopeless at this game. Game can play different each time, and you really are at whim of other players - recommended. (Rating 8.751, March 2022). UPDATE: Part of the three games of the Iron Rail Series (Irish Gauge, Ride the Rails, Iberian Gauge). These all include wooden cubes, route building, and stock investments. Ride the Rails is ok, but a bit difficult at 5 players - would like to try at 4 players, but at the moment its just ok. (Rating 6.757, July 2023)

Fun and simple for a train/stock game with a little pickup and deliver splashed in. My only issue is the end game can feel anti-climactic if you can math out that you have no chance yourself, but still have to make a decision that effects the outcome for others. But it's short enough that it doesn't bother me much.

An OK cube rail game that tries to be a light stock game plus a bit of pick up and deliver. Maybe it will be fine for non players but there are far better simple train games out there like Chicago Express and American Rails for example. A big plus is that it has an expansion map so that would give some replayability.
