Switch & Signal review

Switch & Signal is a charming cooperative train game that I found to be a delightful experience. The game's premise is simple: work with your fellow conductors to transport goods efficiently by managing train schedules, switches, and signals. It's a surprisingly engaging challenge, especially as the number of trains and complexity increases.

I particularly enjoyed the cooperative aspect of the game. It's a great way to spend time with friends or family, working together to overcome the challenges presented by the game. The game's two different game boards, Central Europe and North America, provide variety and a nice change of scenery.

The game is easy to learn, with simple rules that allow you to jump right into the action. However, don't be fooled by its initial simplicity. As the game progresses, it can become quite challenging, requiring careful planning and coordination to succeed. The customizable difficulty levels also add to the replayability, allowing you to tailor the experience to your preferences.

While some reviewers found the game too easy, I found the difficulty level to be just right, providing a satisfying challenge without being overly frustrating. I also appreciated the game's attractive design and the charming little trains with their tiny backpacks. The game's art work is clean and inviting. It's a game I can happily recommend to anyone looking for a fun and engaging cooperative experience.
