Build railway networks directly on the table with The String Railway Collection, a compact box containing two standalone games by designer Hisashi Hayashi. Both games replace a conventional board with flexible strings, creating tactile routes that bend around terrain, stations and competing railway lines.
String Railway is the lighter game, where players construct the map with border, river and mountain strings before placing stations and connecting them with their own railway lines. New connections earn points, while crossing existing tracks can reduce their value.
String Railway Cubed offers a deeper network building challenge. Players upgrade their engines, construct flexible routes and transport coloured goods to fulfil delivery contracts. Both complete games feature updated artwork, refined rules and redesigned presentation.
- Two standalone railway games: Choose the accessible route building of String Railway or the deeper delivery planning of String Railway Cubed
- Strings create the game board: Shape railway lines, borders, mountains and rivers directly across the playing surface
- Crossings reduce route value: String Railway rewards efficient connections that avoid intersecting previously placed tracks
- Contracts shape the Cubed network: Build routes that move coloured goods to the destinations required by your delivery cards
- Engines can be upgraded: String Railway Cubed lets players improve transport capacity as the network develops
