Full publisher description

All aboard the Lightning Train! Steer your railway company through a land of strategic opportunity in Lightning Train, a new bag-building train game from the creators of Clank! and Dune: Imperium. Build your bag to improve your company's resources, then place your chips to open stations and train lines across eight regions of North America. There's a fortune to be made by delivering goods to the cities that need them...but will you work together, or look to cut out the competition? Which stations do you need to secure a route to victory? How can the powerful lightning trains accelerate you past your rivals? All aboard the Lightning Train! Bag-building train strategy! Lightning Train is a bag-builder that plays like a deck-builder, with mechanically-unique chips that give you changing options from round to round. The chips you acquire will shape your long-term strategy, so forward-thinking and clever planning are necessary to find a path to victory.
