Two questions, one: are more cube rails games in development or planned? 🙏

Two: Could you also add the user "Rolf S" please?
Added! And yes, Chicago Express is on the way too.

Played a game tonight and it worked great. One suggestion however is I’m colorblind and it was a little difficult distinguishing some of the colors. An ideal solution in my mind would be slightly changing the locomotive shape or adding a symbol inside.

My friends and I are big train game fans so glad to see it (and happy to hear Chicago Express is coming)

Hello, I played with joy this game thanks for developing it!
Little question: why are the lines names after the Parisian railway stations, as it doesn't appear in the official rules? It is quiet strange to have them randomly placed (like Gare du Nord at the South of Paris…). Also, i couldn't find where to modify but it's Gare de l’Est (missing "e" and capital) and Gare du Nord (capital)
A suggestion: why not call them by the former companies name? PLM, (Companie du) Nord, PO, Midi, (Companie de) l’Est, Réseau de l'État ; but I can understand it will maybe not speak to younger and foreigner…

Hello! This was logged as a suggestion and I've added a screenshot of a potential way to address this by adding distinctive patterns to each colour. That bug is logged here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=32586

Here is the example I posted - https://ibb.co/cQYfg7W - your feedback would be invaluable to how much this changes your ability to play the game. If this still isn't clear I could tweak this further to make this change more distinctive.

Good question! The railway companies do not appear in the rulebook, but their names are included on boards that are included with the game. You can see this on an image in BGG here: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/1871324 ... connection

I agree that means due to their names, it's a little odd with the random placement around Paris, but that matches the board game.

Thank you for highlighting the errors in the capitalization, I will fix these!
