Yardmaster Express

In Yardmaster Express, two to five players compete to have the highest valued train after a set number of rounds. The game starts with the first player drafting a Railcar card from his hand, attaching it to his train, then passing the rest of his hand to the player to his left. This draft continues until all players have added one Railcar to their train for each round of the game. The trick is, while each new Railcar must match the resource type or value of the one previously played, players always have the option to play any card face down as a Wild Railcar; the Wild Railcars don't have much value, but they can be used to save a player in a bind or to thwart your opponents by "hiding" a card they need.

Includes Free Expansion!

The Yardmaster Express base game includes 4 Caboose cards. The Yardmaster Express: Caboose Expansion includes 12 more Caboose cards, with values from 3 to 8, as well as 4 blank ones.

At the beginning of the game, players randomly choose one Caboose expansion card. Each such card sets a different extra end game condition. The players that fulfil the condition will be awarded the number of bonus point written on the particular card, at the end of the game.
