Alan Moon game of 2004 is celebrating its already 5 - year anniversary, so the publisher Days of Wonder "will be invited from 1.10.09 to the first train to train Championship.

"Train to train," is originally a term that is typically used in chess, for example in the analysis of grandmaster games. Therefore, the ambiguous content of the title only on second glance it becomes clear. This is also the English title of "Ticket to Ride" thing, because some people will bring it to the Beatles - classics combined.

Nevertheless, both tracks for the game over to the point, because ultimately it comes to trains, specifically to the generation of a route between the cities of the USA's premiere, in which then can drive trains.

This is achieved with remarkably simple and easily understandable rules: To use a line in one of the available colors, make sure the players collect cards of the same color and number of the respective sections, and play. Why does he do it? Because he has a mission, namely to connect with each other by train routes to certain cities. The city links the player moves while also as maps, set while the distances of the cities to each other the degree of difficulty of the trail and yield correspondingly more or less victory points.

Ergo: There are 3 ways to make his train: pull wagon cards, draw cards, or use a goal line ". To be played on the hand of a certain color maps located and designed cars of his own color on the game board. Depending on the length of the line section, the player then receives victory points.

The winner is the end, who has collected through track building and city connections with the most points. A special evaluation then are still the longest, was built on a piece of track.

Train to train is a game that makes it fun and leads to fiddle around. How do I get it out as efficiently as possible to connect my cities and when I build? Sooner or later? I wait until I draw a matching color, or do I sacrifice the suit for an important neutral section? Train to train at any time, raises questions about issues. Thus, the game remains exciting and entertaining. Because the game is easy to explain, it can be good in a spontaneous round of play with "Wenigspielern.

The only point of criticism is really only the plastic wagons. How nice it would play with something subtle colored wooden wagons. Our Brio wooden railway is unfortunately too large .
