Switch & Signal – Keep the Trains Rolling Together 🚂🚦

Take control of a busy rail network in Switch & Signal by David Thompson, published by Kosmos! In this cooperative game, 2–4 players aged 10+ work as a team, and a game takes about 45 minutes.

Together you control the train routes in Central Europe or North America, depending on which side of the double-sided board you play. Your goal is to pick up goods cubes from different cities and transport them to the destination port. At the beginning of each turn, a departure card is revealed that determines whether new trains are deployed and which trains will run. The more trains come into play, the closer you need to keep an eye on what is going on. You roll special dice to see how far your slow, medium or fast trains can travel, and with action cards you decide where to set switches and signals so the trains can make progress without blocking each other. Helpers on both sides of the board support you with special actions. Once the final departure card has been revealed, you only have until the end of that turn to reach the goal. You all win as soon as every good has arrived at the port. The box contains the double-sided board, 100 cards including 81 action cards and 18 departure cards, 9 trains, 2 deployment dice, 3 movement dice, 12 goods cubes, signal and switch markers and time tokens.
