We have had this game for a few years and we find ourselves reaching for it constantly.  It is great for 2 players and multiple players.  Very simple game that involves a bit of luck and strategy.  Every Time I visit my parents, they ask that I bring this game for us to play as a family and I usually end up leaving the game with them to enjoy together until my next visit.  (I guess I will just go ahead and buy them their own when I finish this review!). At the time that I purchased this in 2010, the game was very expensive to buy on other sites and Amazon had the best price, which is awesome.  I am going to buy the other variations, as well.  I do wish there was a way to be a bit more sneaky and strategic, as I do feel a bit guilty when I  blatantly block my mom and dad's train routes, but it is still a very fun, easy to play game!
