Thanks. It was tricky to get started initially. !CTP

It's indeed a little complicated at first but there is a great starting guide on the wiki for this game which helped me a lot when I got started.

In particular the "gears" on the cards are very important since the number of gears on the locomotive must match the gears of the conductor. Something I didn't realise in the beginning so I started off with two trains lol.
