Cargo Express

Cargo Express is a train-themed planning and delivery board game from Compass Games. Players run locomotives, manage cargo and try to make the best deliveries as conditions around the table keep changing.

The rules are mechanically simple, making the game approachable, but the planning puzzle gives players plenty to think about. You need to choose the right cargo, send it to the right destination, and time your moves well enough to stay ahead of your opponents. The result is a game about route planning, opportunism and adapting when the situation shifts.

With wooden locomotives, cargo cubes, planning cards and contract cards, Cargo Express offers a lighter strategy experience than Compass Games’ historical wargame catalogue, making it a good fit for players looking for an accessible logistics and train game.

Contents include: one mounted game board, 76 playing cards, four wooden locomotives, 45 wooden cubes in five colours, one cloth bag, 15 cardboard playing tiles, four player aids, English and German rule booklets, and one box and lid set.
