The Bits:
The components are solid; one of the first things that catch the eye of a new player is the color and the interesting looking board. . The trains (of which there are over 200) are well-made of sturdy, colored plastic and the board is lively and colorful with multiple routes spanning all across the United States. The cards are also of good quality (if a tad small) – it’s a pretty typical Days of Wonder production.
Conclusion
