Kosmos Switch & Signal | Cooperative, Family-Friendly Strategy Train Game | Double-Sided Board | Travel Across Central Europe or North America | 2-4 Players

Do you have friends that are so competitive that you hate playing games with them? Then this is the game for you. It is a cooperative game, meaning, you are all on the same side. You are playing against the game, not each other. Now you can finally invite your friends, who you love, but can't stand playing games against, to your game night once again. And, it is fun. This is an attractively designed game, good for hours of team building fun.

We sat down and started on the basic game and found it extremely challenging. It is definitely a cooperative game.

Got this off the sheer appeal of the pieces. Tiny trains? With a lil' backpack? That holds a SINGLE CUBE? ADORABLE.buuuut after a couple plays, it's just too easy. There were a couple sticky moments, but we never had any problem achieving the objective. I wasn't expecting anything TOO hard, but the lack of challenge really makes for a dull experience.Those lil' trains are super cute still.

This game is a nice departure from the more typical railroad game of competing for routes. In this game you are actually working more cooperatively to route trains to pick up cargo and deliver it to a port.Each player takes turn playing cards from their hand that allows you to change switches or signals on the board in order to route trains. Card actions can also move trains, although trains do move on their own based upon event cards that are drawnThe game is won if the players succeed in moving all cargo from the cities to the ports, and loses if too many trains are blocked from required movement because of switches or signals that prevent movement, or if movement would take a train off the map. The board is two sided, having a map of Europe on one side and a map of the U.S. on the otherThe game is easy to learn and quick to play. A nice game for solo or cooperative players who enjoy train themed games.
