This is a new twist on pick up and deliver games. As players move their trains west and pick up goods, they can deliver those goods to small towns to gain shares in railroads, or hold on to them for a bigger payout when they reach the west coast. At the same time, they will be trying to optimize their actions (and gain extra ones), lay down new track tiles, block the other players, gather and use valuable whistles for special moves and abilities, and carefully manage their coal resources. Whistle Stop plays 2-5 players in a little over an hour, with just enough complexity and strategy for hardcore gamers, with rules that are still very accessible for casual gamers.
