Description

Freight is a train game combining network building and pick up and delivery. During the game, players build tracks between cities and use these tracks to ship goods.

In a turn, a player builds track (but can also buy more freight wagons and build new towns). After that she picks up goods produced in one city/town and delivers them in another, making use of track built by herself or by other players. After building and moving, she has to pay interest to the bank on all her loans (because players start the game without any money).

To win the game, a player must have a large network, be debt-free (i.e. without loans), and have made several very profitable deliveries.
