Frostrain

In a climate-ravaged frozen world, you command the last moving train and its passengers as they head east toward a rumored safe haven. A blizzard presses from behind, while toxic regions threaten the people aboard.

At stops along a route map, choose new train cars delivered by drone. Cars have different effects, and combining duplicates strengthens them; arrange your limited train roster to create useful synergies.

Plan which nodes to visit and how long to spend gathering cars: extra preparation can improve your train, but gives the storm more time to close in. Keep passenger happiness up and build enough speed to cross the frozen route.

Players who enjoy Frostrain often praise the satisfying work of combining train cars into synergies and planning around the route, passenger happiness, and approaching storm. Some say the mechanics become engaging once they click, and appreciate the frozen setting and its presentation. Other reviews describe the runs as short or repetitive, and frequently point to unclear explanations, random card choices, or the artwork as drawbacks.
