With a limited number of coins in the game, players will have to think carefully about how they choose to reach their desired destinations.

Should players do this, then they’ll place the two cards they’ve used to build that route in front of them - face down - and then take cards for a new travel route, as long as their train is currently in or has passed through the city matching the card.Īlong the way, depending on which routes they take, players may have to pay one of their opponents a coin in order to use any railways they own - which will then turn them into state-owned lines that will be free to travel on for the rest of the game. In order to get other travel route cards players will need to ride the rails through destinations featured on the routes that they’ve already built. In a similar fashion to the classic family game Ticket to Ride, constructing routes requires players to have cards matching those travel routes, which they’ll receive at the start of the game. Players will need to complete any lines they’re currently building between cities before they can start any new ones. Building rails will enable players to create routes for their company to profit from, but require players to have both rails and construction points.

During the game, players take turns to perform one of three potential actions which include placing rails onto the board, travelling across the board to connecting cities or taking rails from the shared supply if players have no more than one in their own pool. The train game - which supports between one to five players - is played across a game board containing 45 different cities all connected in one network. (Thanks BoardGameGeek.) With the train market getting increasingly more competitive, players will have to plan carefully and act cleverly if they want to be successful. Set within Europe during the 19th century, a period of time in which railroad travel was becoming increasingly popular and more accessible, Free Ride sees players becoming the heads of their own railway companies. Friedemann Friese, the creator of Power Grid, has designed a new Ticket to Ride-style train game called Free Ride.
