What is Card Rails about?
Card Rails is a 3-5 player, 20-30 minute cube rails game played with cards. Each player creates their own map of the game they are playing, blocking others and improving their own positions while deciding whether to keep a card for future financial gain or to use it instantly for rewards.
During the game, players discard cards to perform actions: Take a Share or Build a Track. The discarded card can be added to and expanded if building tracks. Building into hexes increases companies’ values or swaps out cards from players’ hands.
At the end of the game, cards remaining in hand count as shares of a company, along with shares taken. The player with the most shares wins!
