This is easily one of our families favorite board games.  Our whole family loves to play this game.  Lots of strategy involved, although it is pretty easy to learn.  Be prepared for some "heated" discussions!  One thing to note...we added a "house rule" to this game.  We use a die to determine how many train cards to pick instead of only having to pick two train cards.  This makes the game go a little faster...although it is very annoying when someone rolls a "1"!
