3. Related Story
How do you get around? Do you walk, ride, or drive? What kind of transportation do
you like? I like public transportation. I use public transportation all the time in Taipei.
There is an MRT stop outside my home. I ride the MRT all over the city. It is very
convenient. I take the bus, too. There are many bus stops near my apartment. And
sometimes I walk. I get around on foot to place nearby. In California, public
transportation isn’t very convenient. So I drive my car a lot. Many other people drive
their cars, too. There is a lot of traffic. I can’t get to places very fast. There are many
other kinds of transportation. You can take a plane or a taxi to a restaurant or a store.
I like most kinds of transportations. But I do not like boats. Because I get very seasick!

7. Start to Play:
Materials:
1 game board
Wood bits
85 tracks
6 start markers
6 locomotives
35 city cards
1 starting player card
1 rulebook
Rules:
1. There is a small 6-panel board that shows the United States with a triangular grid
superimposed. On the board, there are 35 cities are located on the grid, and there
are also 7 cities each in 5 different regions. Every region is marked not just by a color
(e.g., the west coast is "green"), but also an icon (a weird shield for the west coast).
There's also a scoring track across the top of the board.
2. The tracks laid on the edges of the grid. There are a start marker and a locomotive
for each of the 6 player colors; the colors include red, blue, green, and yellow, brown,
white. The start marker is a sparse cylinder, but the locomotives indeed look like an
engine carved in two dimensions.
3. Every card is marked clearly with its region back and front, both by color and icon.
The front also lists a city (e.g., "Jacksonville") and shows it clearly on a map of the
United States. A lot of players may feel confused about figuring out which city is
where. But the inclusion of these U.S. maps avoids that problem, however, it is a
good lesson for other people putting together railroad games. The start player card
just shows an engine front and back, and it is used to remember who started the
current round.
4. Each round at the start of play, each player takes five city cards, one from each of
the five regions. This will give each one city each in the west (green), east (orange),
south (red), north (blue), and Midwest (yellow) to link up. In turn each player then
places your start marker on any city on the board (likely, one of the five you drew).
5. Each turn, each player then places track along the lines of the board's grid. Most
grid lines are marked with a single line, but there are some crossing mountains or
rivers, they are instead marked with a double line.
6. A player on the turn may either place one track on a double-line or else one or two
tracks on single lines. These tracks must be connected to the current network of
tracks that includes the player's start marker.
7. If a player ever connects the track to another player's track, they may both use the
entirety of the connected network. Typically, all the players have their tracks
connected into one whole by the end of a round of play.
8. A round ends when all five of one player's cities become connected through the
network of tracks. Afterward, each other player scores negatively for each connection
he was missing for his five cities (1 point for a single-line link, 2 points for a
double-line link). At the start of the game, all the locomotive scoring markers began
in the "engine house" just past the 12; they'll all move backward from there each
round. Typically, some players will just be 1 point off at the end of a round, but others
may be 3-5 points away from completion.
9. After a round of play, everything is cleared off the board and the starting player
rotates clockwise.
10. The game ends when a locomotive crashes through the barrier beneath the "1"
on the scoring track. If, after two rounds, no one has 3 or less points, the barrier is
moved up to just two spaces beneath the last place player. This ensures that the end
of the game isn't far away. A game typically lasts 3 or 4 rounds of play.
