Pass Tokens offer strategic flexibility, allowing players to skip turns or fold when necessary. Completing train series or parts of them grants opportunities to swap or claim Elite Status tiles, adding layers of strategy. The objective is to accumulate points, with the game concluding when a player reaches 175 points. The player with the highest score emerges victorious, crowned the master of the rails!
