This is a very fun and educational game.  Players use cute trains to build "tracks" across the US to different cities completing a card that details what cities need to be linked to get points.  Its very easy to learn.  The only thing is that it can be complicated to score the game-we tend to do it at the end of the game rather than trying to do it during play.  This is one of the few games that is fun with just two players.  Very Entertaining! (ticket to ride Europe is also fun).
