Conclusion:
_________
The game is in any group size from two to four players fun. One is always striving to be faster than the other players. That brings pace. Thus, it is never a dull moment for those who are not just on train. However, you do not play with each other directly or against each other. This everyone is very concerned with themselves and there is little interaction between the players, which can be boring after a while.
It's not a very tactical, but rather a happiness-heavy game that can also be played well with the family.
