## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the size of the completed layout? Size of each tile?**
A: The game easily takes up a 3'-4' round table, which is what we play on.  In order to avoid running off the table, or having to move the puzzle around to accommodate more pieces being added to one path or another, we have a house rule that says the puzzle cannot ever be moved, and that any piece played on a path must leave room for other pieces to be added later.  In other words, no trapping of open paths is allowed.  Sometimes that ends the game before we use up most of our tiles.  But then we just see who has the fewest tiles left, declare that person the winner, and start another game!  

Also, we shuffle and deal out all the tiles, face down, in the beginning, so that each player has his own smaller pile to draw from.  Then we each turn over the first ten of our tiles and go from there.  We find that less destructive than reaching across the puzzle to pull from a central pile.

**Q: Is there only one way that the train tracks will fit?  Can you basically ignore the game rules and play this like a train track construction set?**
A: Hi and thanks for your question!  There are multiple ways to make the train tracks fit, but I think you could "play" it like a train track construction set - we've played it like solitaire before, which sounds like what I think you're asking.

**Q: Just for a fun challenge, has anyone been able to use every single piece to make a continuous system?**
A: Many years ago my sons did it.   I bought this set for my 5 yr old grandson. So  far we  haven't accomplished it.  
If your looking for a great puzzle with multiple possibilities try IZZI

**Q: Are there little cars, trains and boats included**
A: They are not part of the game, so no. Each play is to extend the map with a piece that will legally match the connections on the adjoining piece(s).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game, just wish they would bring back original pictures
*by I***R on January 6, 2019*

This is a fantastic game I remember from my childhood. We still have that original game with it's beautiful and detailed illustrations so when I went to get it as a gift for someone else, I was disappointed that, like with most games nowadays, they've replaced the classy illustrations with garish cartoon-like ones. That's why I took off a star. This game is one that can be played by many ages. My kids that are too little to play it properly just like connecting the pieces together and looking at the pictures! Great game for the whole family!
