Lightning Train Board Game by Direwolf

Steer a railway company through eight regions of North America in Lightning Train. Players build their company bags, improve the resources they can draw and place chips to open stations and rail lines across a shared double sided map.

Delivering goods to cities creates opportunities for fortune, but the developing network can encourage cooperation as easily as competition. Every new station or connection may help several companies, so deciding when to share infrastructure and when to secure a route for yourself is an important part of the strategy.

Powerful lightning trains can accelerate a company beyond its rivals, while cards, production systems and more than four hundred punch tokens support the growing economy. Solo rules are included, allowing the same bag building and route development system to be played with one to four railway managers.
