Full steam ahead! Lightning Train, the new bag-building strategy game from designer Paul Dennen (Dune: Imperium, Clank!) has pulled into Friendly Local Game Stores across the US and is now available for purchase, both on retail shelves and the Dire Wolf store!

Steer your railway company through a land of strategic opportunity in Lightning Train, a new bag-building train game from the creators of Clank! and Dune: Imperium.

Build your bag to improve your company’s resources, then place your chips to open stations and train lines across eight regions of North America. There’s a fortune to be made by delivering goods to the cities that need them… but will you work together, or look to cut out the competition? Which stations do you need to secure a route to victory? How can the powerful lightning trains accelerate you past your rivals?

All aboard the Lightning Train!
