Free Ride: USA

Free Ride: USA is a railroad strategy board game that puts you in charge of rebuilding America’s rail network and racing passengers between its great cities.

In 1950s America, diesel locomotives have modernized the railways, and you’ll take charge of rebuilding key lines across the country. Across a map of the United States, players lay new tracks, link major cities, and run their trains along both their own lines and state-owned routes to carry passengers. Using another player’s tracks costs coins but can convert those lines into state property, turning every connection into a tense economic decision. You’ll select travel routes from an open display of city cards, push for lucrative east–west journeys to earn extra coins, and race to visit as many different cities as possible for end-game points, whether in multiplayer or the included solo challenge. Available now at Boarding School Games—steam ahead into your next game night.
