If you are looking for a game the whole family will love, get this game. It is colorful, well built and fun.  My son loves maps and trains, so this was a win-win.  You draw out destinations your trains need to go and you build tracks between here and there.  Other train makers can block your path on the way to their destinations and you may have to find another route.  We played on Christmas day and we had a great time.  This is a well made game and should be in every game-loving family.  We are considering purchasing the other versions as well.  Good times for all.
