Description:


America in the 19th century: railroads are booming! Pioneer spirit and vision are everywhere. Everyone wants to be the first to build a railroad network across the country. Each player gets a set of five cities and must build a network (with the help of the other players) to connect all five cities. The first player to connect his five cities wins the round. The others lose points based on how far their unconnected cities are from the network. Who will be the first to connect his cities? Is it Casey, who was the first to build through the mountains to the west? Or Annie, who was the one who best made use of the others' tracks?

TransAmerica (includes Vexation expansion) rating: 2.5/5 stars let

A fun game for folks who like yahtzee and other no-skill games.

TransAmerica (includes Vexation expansion) rating: 4.5/5 stars Great game

We've played this with our kids as well as with exchange students. It's a simple game, but like many GREAT games, the difficulty is in the strategy, not the rules.

TransAmerica (includes Vexation expansion) rating: 5/5 stars Simple and Ultra-Satisfying

I honestly can't get enough of this game. My brother and I ended up being the last two players so we each took 3 cities of each color and played... Let me say, It was awesome. Everyone should play this game, at least once (which is just enough times to be hooked.)

TransAmerica (includes Vexation expansion) rating: 5/5 stars Everyone likes it

Our family has played Transamerica for a couple of years now. We've played it with grandparents and we've played it with children. Everyone likes it! Many of our friends and family have purchased the game for themselves after they've played it with us.

TransAmerica (includes Vexation expansion) rating: 4.5/5 stars Great Straight Forward Game

I have been playing Transamerica for over two years now. My copy has been enjoyed by a wide range of gaming players. I have used it as the starter game for guy game night to the causual after dinner game with my wife and our friends. The rules are simple but there is enough strategy to hold people's interest and with a game time of under 30 minutes it's hard not to like this game.
