Description

Bandits boarded the 3:15 to Fort Worth. Sheriff Amun Carter has rounded up a posse with two leaders. The leader who best achieves the goals of stopping the Train Robbery in progress will be the new Deputy.

In The Great Train Rescue, players will join opposing posses to save as many passengers as they can from the train scoring for the cards that have been chosen. Each choice will help players score or will set them up for future success. Turn order changes when players choose cards with the lower time value letting that player go first on the following turn.

Players will note the Wanted cards, some of the time they will earn the players more points or at other times earn the players fewer points. Players will also have to consider passenger color, tools, and loot! Each choice of a card will allow the opponent more cards to access and so taking just the right card can really get wild in the old west!

Hop aboard the train and see if you can thwart the robbers in the best ways each round. Cunning and clever play across the 18 cards of this game will challenge the players. Do you have what it takes to be the new Deputy?
