Description

Tschu-tschu-tschu...the railroad is a game with a colour die. It contains 5 wooden tiles depicting locomotives, 15 tiles depicting railroad passenger wagons and 4 smaller tiles depicting conductors. And then there is the 6-sided colour die.

From the publishers description on the back side of the game box: Tschu-tschu-tschu... the railroad is a colour die game made from wood. When the locomotive is steaming and ready the train be quite quick. Two or more build a common train or build their own one. Made from wood, so childrens hands can have a strong grip too. The game: From the wooden tiles coloured trains are built. The die sets the colour so everyone has a chance in this fast-paced tile laying game made out of wood.

The rulebook suggests two games: In one game one locomotive is put in the middle of the table. The wagons are shuffled and dealt to the players. The players take turns rolling the die and then adding to the locomotive if they have rolled the appropriate colour or black which is a joker in this game. The first player getting rid of all his/her wagon tiles is the rounds winner and gets a conductor tile. After 4 rounds the game ends, the player with the most conductors wins.

In a second variant each player gets a locomotive and the wagon tiles are put in the middle of the table. Then there must be an agreement which train will be the winning one: The longest one, the most colourful on or one in a single colour. Players take turns rolling the die and taking a wagon of the rolled colour. The rulebook is unclear if taking a wagon is optional or compulsory in this variant.
