How to play

On your turn, you can do two of the below actions, including the same action twice. At turn end, the market refreshes and that player can keep at most 6 cards in their hand.

Take

Take a card from the face up display, the deck, or a passenger from the bag.

Load

Loading allows you to add cargo to your cars or an opponent's cars, using cards in your hand. (Bonus load actions must be on your own car.)

Load a matching card or passenger onto a car that's not full yet

The car's type and capacity is listed above the car. If you load onto an opponents's car, you get the listed bonus

Build

Play a new car

To play a car, discard its cost in other cards. Note: You may not play a car that would exceed your engine's weight limit

Upgrade an existing car (of the same type)

You can upgrade a car of the same type by paying the difference in other cards

Play a building

To play a building, discard its cost in other cards

Deliver

Delivering allows you to perform deliveries to one location as below. Note taking contracts or filling a passenger delivery row moves the progress track one step toward game end.

Deliver to a Primary Contract

If you don't have a contract already, deliver goods to the primary contract of some location on the map. Discard the goods, gain points, and take the contract.

Deliver to a Secondary Contract

If you have a contract, you can deliver the goods on one of the secondary contracts to score that contract. (This allows you to take another contract from the map.)

Deliver a Passenger

If you have a passenger, you can deliver it to the matching color location to get a bonus.

Deliver for cards (Special Delivery)

When taking a deliver action, you can discard any goods and passengers for 2 cards each.

Game end

Completing 4/5/6 progress in a 2/3/4 player game ends the game. (Running out of cards in the deck/discard also ends the game.)

Players add up their points from trains, buildings, and contracts.

• Points from trains
• Points from buildings
• Points from contracts
• Point tokens during the game
• +1 point per loaded good remaining
• +1 point to a player ending the game (if by progress)

(Tiebreaker is longest train, then most train points)
