These mostly allow you to do some jiggery-pokery with your line-up, swapping or moving your cards around. Actions include things like swapping cards in the lineup, moving cards in the lineup, forcing every player to discard a specific card in their lineup, or protecting a card from discard. We’ll give you a quick rundown of how to play the game, why it’s a good family card game, as well as what we like about its uniqueness. In the end it is a filler game that doesn’t last too long (as all filler games should) and sometimes can feel like you can’t stop that one person from winning, but that is the thing with a filler game – you can just play another game or move on to a different one altogether.

Special powers include such actions as swapping two cards, moving a card, destroying everyone's cards, and so on.In Solution, players work in a factory making widgets; they may spend points to learn that the factory belongs to Nazi Germany and that they can stop making the widgets. Maybe if you can convince the workers to move the cars where they should or, barring that, just find new freight, you’ll be able to make it to your destination on time. In fact, the true power behind the game is the fact that it comes with a board along with 500 cards and a few components.

The player moves their trains by rolling dice, and they can use cards to slow down their opponents' trains, or accelerate their own.It can feel limiting in the fact that if you don’t want to use an available ability, your only other option is a random card drawn from the deck that must be placed somewhere in your line. In fact, throughout the game the players kept making comparisons between Trains cards and Dominion cards. The most common point of confusion among new players was the use of the universal recycling symbol (arrows in a triangle) to represent taking a Waste card, but it was not a barrier to play. However, if you’re looking for that extra little layer of strategy to your card building proceedings and want a new way to board your card stacking accomplishments, playing Trains is undoubtedly the best way to satisfy your needs.
