The String Railway Collection

Originally published in 2009 and designed by Hisashi Hayashi (Yokohama?Trains?Metro X)?String Railway?is a 20-minute 2-5 player game in which players create their own map directly onto the table complete with borders mountains and rivers then build atop it a network of railways all made out of string.

Following in 2011 the sequel?String Railway: Transport?(now renamed?String Railway: Cubed) combined the premise of?String Railway?with the weighty decision-making of games like?Railways of the World producing a mid-weight 45-minute game. In the game players start with a map of stations already built and must balance the desire to upgrade their engines and fulfill bespoke delivery contracts with the need to quickly build a flexible train network that can transport goods to a range of destinations.

The String Railway Collection?packs both of these standalone games into a single small-box package and features vibrant updated artwork improved graphic design and a refined ruleset.
