Whistlewood Express is a two-player strategic duel (with solo mode) where you play as freightmasters delivering goods to the towns of Whistlewood. From the train car tiles in your hand you build a shared train, but you ll fiercely compete for the most valuable station spots. Each turn you must decide whether to attach a new car, advance the whole train, or claim a station. Every action shifts the train s position and composition while the available stations steadily run out. Thanks to the variable arrangement of Location Cards, every game is different and asks for a fresh strategy. The box also includes the Freightmaster s Logbook with 10 unlockable challenges. These scenarios take the shared train across new corners of Whistlewood and unlock new game modes and modules: additional train cars, new location cards, a drawstring bag, plus environment and cargo tokens. Modules can be mixed and matched, letting you dial in more complex, tougher, or longer sessions. —description from the publisher
