Village Rails is a compact railway card game where players build local train lines across the English countryside.

Players place railway cards into their own growing tableau, connecting stations, farmsteads and rural routes while trying to satisfy the particular demands of local passengers. Each line needs careful planning, as track placement, scoring opportunities and limited funding all affect how successful your railway network becomes.

Designed by Matthew Dunstan and Brett J. Gilbert, Village Rails offers a thinky route-building puzzle in a small box. With charming countryside artwork, tricky tableau decisions and strong replay value, it is a great choice for players who enjoy train games, card games and strategic route planning.
