Tracks – The Train Set Game

Riding the wooden rails

- Philippa Warr

Train delays take many forms. I’ve known leaves on the line, snow on the line, another train on the line and, once, bandits on the line who had just robbed a post office. The current hold-up for my Tracks passengers, though, is because I am building a route to a station with no fewer than five jumps.

Tracks – The Train Set Game is a sandbox game where you build fantastical wooden railways. There’s the draw of nostalgia – I’ve been remembering my own Brio bits which I’d assemble around furniture. There’s also the pleasure of building a little railway then switching perspective to actually drive the train around.
