**INCLUDES STRETCH GOALS AND KS EXTRAS**

Originally published in 2009 and designed by Hisashi Hayashi (Yokohama, Trains, Metro X), String Railway is a 20-minute, 2-5 player game in which players create their own map directly onto the table, complete with borders, mountains and rivers, then build atop it a network of railways, all made out of string.

Following in 2011, the sequel String Railway: Transport (now renamed String Railway: Cubed) combined the premise of String Railway with the weighty decision-making of games like Railways of the World, producing a mid-weight 45-minute game. In the game, players start with a map of stations already built and must balance the desire to upgrade their engines, and fulfill bespoke delivery contracts, with the need to quickly build a flexible train network that can transport goods to a range of destinations.

The String Railway Collection packs both of these standalone games into a single small-box package and features vibrant updated artwork, improved graphic design, and a refined ruleset.
 

From renowned designer Hisashi Hayashi, String Railway is a 30 minute, tactile, 2-5 player game in which players create their own map directly onto the table, complete with borders, mountains and rivers, and then build atop it a vibrant, ever-growing network of railways, all of it made out of string. 

Its follow up, String Railway: Cubed, combines the irresistible premise of Sting Railway with the crunchy decision making of games like Railways of the World, producing an accessible mid-weight 45 minute game. The String Railway Collection packs these two brilliant games into one small box.
