Getting old stuff from me - newborn = not many trains rn. Years ago, I modified Martian Rails - a crayon rail game - to be played async over lunchtimes at work, and it was great. Wrote it up on https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2079683/asynchronous-play-martian-rails

(Scheduled this post last week... in case I forgot)

So - a few months back I was looking feverishly for a copy of Iron Dragon, and ended up with a copy of Martian Rails (because I found it cheap). After a few games, I decided to bring it into work as a lunch game. We're a ~30 person company,

This is the Albury train station. It has an extremely long platform, because it used to be where you changed trains between Melbourne and Sydney; there's a break of gauge, so one train couldn't go the whole way. One train would be on one end, you'd grab your stuff, and take it to the train waiting on the other end. The platform is 455m long!
