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)

Me hace bastante ilusión que rediten estos viejos juegos de Winsome, por que son juegos que están bien desarrollados y que están bien, mejor de la mayoría de lo que sale hoy en dia. Pero desde luego no pienso que haya ninguna obra maestra oculta en esos juegos exclusivos de los que se hacian 150 copias. Ride the rails da lo que promete. Es un juego rápido que se juega en una hora y que es interactivo y tiene decisiones. No hay lio de pujas y acciones sino que el meollo es que en hay una fase de transporte de pasajeros muy simplificada. Solo lo he jugado a 3 pero a 4/5 tiene que ser su mejor numero y mas interesante. Alguna critica he oido de que el sistema de puntuación es farragoso, pero a mi no me lo ha parecido si tienes un poco de costumbre de calcular. Hay muchos trucos que se pueden hacer para simplificar la puntuación: No sumar lo que da cada compañía hasta el final, restar en vez de sumar cuando solo uno no tiene acciones de una compañía... En resumen ok, de los tres que ha sacado capstone yo creo que este es el mejor y mas sencillo, la prueba es que lleve ya dos expansiones de mapas y otra en camino.

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.
