In 2009, expert game designer Hisashi Hayashi (renowned for Yokohama, Trains, and Metro X) released The String Railway Collection. This 20-minute, 2-5 player game features a unique twist where players construct their own map on the table using string, including borders, mountains, and rivers. The sequel, String Railway: Transport (now known as String Railway: Cubed), was released in 2011 and added strategic elements from games like Railways of the World, resulting in a longer 45-minute game. Players must strategically upgrade their engines, fulfill delivery contracts, and build a versatile train network to transport goods to various destinations on a pre-set map. The String Railway Collection combines both games in one compact package, showcasing updated artwork, improved graphics, and refined rules. Suitable for ages 10 and up with 2-5 players, this game offers a length of 20-45 minutes. Key mechanics include a modular board.
