Free Ride

Version revisitée des aventuriers du rails. Et c’est clairement mieux et plus stratégique ! Bravo Friedmann !!!

I really enjoy this game. I like, that the coins are worth enough points that your really think about giving only one of them away. And I like that the routes are randomly drawn and there are really easy combinations as well as really hard ones.

Little rules for such a fine game. Laying tracks in Europe provides you with a fun lesson in geography. Travelling the cities reminds you to keep enough money to use your opponent's railroad network. Well-laid plans easily go south, when you didn't manage to be in the right city at the right time. Recommended! Enjoy!

Rating is for the solo module. Straightforward, but a satisfying amount of brain burn based on the forward planning as you juggle fulfilling your current routes vs building for your next ones. Weighing subtle trade offs in creating rail efficiencies. This is the solo train game I've been looking for. A combination between a simpler cube rail game (like TransAmerica) and a crayon rails. Only complaint is it's a little too long. Recommend playing in two sessions.
