The Great Train Robbery Game

This is a game for 2 to 6 players on the now legendary 'Great Train Robbery'. On the 8th August, 1963 the travelling post office train was hijacked at Sears Crossing, Buckinghamshire, England. The train driver and co-driver were captured and the train driven a quarter of a mile to a bridge over the road. The mail vans were ransacked by the gang and the 110 mail bags were thrown down to a waiting lorry. The gang then went to Leatherslade Farm, their base for the share out. This was only 20 miles from the hold up.

Based on the actual events of the Great Train Robbery in 1963, this game is a realistic re-enactment of the chase making use of skill, judgement, initative and like life itself, a measure of luck.
