Thames & Kosmos Switch Signal Train Board Game

Everythig's perfect. It arrived two days earlier than expected..

I have bought this game to play solo. I have many board games. But the puzzle style really interests me. So it's a Christmas present I'm really looking forward to. And how difficult you want the game to be can be adjusted. I'm hoping there will be expansions for it too. Maybe set in Britain... at night... with phantom trains. There goes my imagination again. Roll on Christmas 🤶 After receiving this pressie a couple of days early I can say it's not too easy at all. At first I thought so, but another look at the rules proved I was playing it slightly wrong. The time deck it's reshuffled! And this deck can be shortened making the the game as difficult as you want it to be.

Do you have friends that are so competitive that you hate playing games with them? Then this is the game for you. It is a cooperative game, meaning, you are all on the same side. You are playing against the game, not each other. Now you can finally invite your friends, who you love, but can't stand playing games against, to your game night once again. And, it is fun. This is an attractively designed game, good for hours of team building fun.

We sat down and started on the basic game and found it extremely challenging. It is definitely a cooperative game.

Unlike pandemic or pandemic fall of Rome, this is a cooperative game that is not ruined by complex and illogical rules. So all the players have fun, and are not upset by rules that make little sense. As the players are all the same, with no playing roles. So while Player roles can be good, as in pandemic, or obtuse as in fall of Rome. But in both cases, alpha players, taking on parts of roles outside their remit, that can ruin the game for others, trying to play a role always. As the rules are simple and logical in this game players can quickly enjoy the game from the start. The parts are not fiddly and easy to place on the board. The art work is good and clear.
