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.
