AEG Announces a New English Edition of Trains

AEG TrainsOur pal Todd Rowland, of AEG, has sent word of a summer release for an English language edition of Hisashi Hayashi’s Trains. The game was available in very limited numbers at last year’s Essen and now the title will be made available to a much larger audience! Two to four players take part in this new deck building game as they look to control the most powerful railroad in all Japan.

I’ll guess we should see the release at this year’s Gen Con but there’s no guessing with the price tag, as the MSRP will be $49.99.

From AEG:

The railways of today are amazing things and bullet trains, freight trains and more keep entire countries running. From transporting the populace to carrying essential materials, trains play an integral part in a nation’s power and economic development.

You will start with a small set of cards, but by building a more effective deck throughout the game, you will be able to place stations and lay rails over the maps of Osaka or Tokyo. Gain enough points from your railways and you will ultimately manage the most powerful railroads in modern Japan!

This English edition of Trains, designed by Hisashi Hayashi, features updated graphics, artwork, and streamlined card abilities. With extensive replay value, Trains is one game you won’t want to leave the station without!
