Build trains from Caboose to Engine by matching color and playing lower numbered train cars on railway piles, first player to play all of their cards wins!
Cabooses in the Corner is fun for all ages. The game uses a unique deck of 72 train cards. There are three trains of each color: blue, red, and white; each train includes cars numbered from 7 to 1 (the engine). There are seven purple Cabooses (numbered 8 – they match any train) and two orange Broken Cabooses (letter B - a blocking card which cannot be matched), plus a rule book which doubles as game board (if desired).
During setup, the players are each dealt seven cards, then four cards are laid faceup in a cross shape (N, E, S, W) creating railway piles, with the remaining deck of cards placed in the middle of the cross.
On your turn you must draw a card first, then you may do any of the following if you can: Play the next lower card of the same color on any railway pile, play a Caboose or Broken Caboose in an empty corner (the space between the railway piles), move any sequence of cards onto another pile that continues the sequence (such as blue 5-4-3 moved to a blue 6), play any train card (numbers 1-7) on a vacated railway pile, or remove any complete train (sequence 8-1) from the play area.
Sharpen your color recognition and your number counting skills in this quick and fun train game. Again, the players play cards and build trains until one player runs out of cards. The play time per game is about 15 minutes.
