Just wanted to stop in and say that I love your channel, Jon. To me, it's the best board game channel on TH-cam. Your videos have exceptional quality in every aspect: Audio, video, pace, speech, structure, clarity, correctness, completeness. Whenever I want to check out a new game, your channel is always the first place I check, and I always get excited when I see that you have a video covering it. I've been watching your videos for a few years now and they're always wonderful without exception. My last 3 game purchases have been a result of watching your playthroughs, and the 3 games I currently have my eye on (The White Castle, The Red Cathedral, and Barcelona) are also the result of watching your videos. You give such a deep, clear showcase of what the game is like, how it plays, how it feels, and how smoothly the rules flow. You teach the rules in a way that other "rules teach" videos can't come close to. Keep up the great work! You're unrivaled and have been for many years, and I hope to see you continue for many more.
Extremely minor, but at 27:27 you accidentally said "orange stock" instead of "green stock." I don't think anybody will misunderstand what you meant though.
I know some of it was for illustration purposes, but it seems like having bought 2 cubes instead of 1 would have been a better move. Wasted a number of turns later trying to get up to 15 cubes 1 cube (2 for 1) at a time.

Wow, thank you so much for all the kind words. I am very glad to hear you've enjoyed all my hard work. Thank you again.
Looks like a great and pretty quick little game.
It's been a while since you sold me on a train game - since Siberian Express. Enjoyed that one. I will give this one a try as well.
I hope you enjoy it!
Love all the cube rails play throughs you’ve been doing recently, Jon! Maybe “West Riding Revisited” is on the horizon? 😬
WRR is literally on my filming table as I type this. I hope to record that next and release it at some point early/mid Decmeber.
Very nice play!
Really enjoying watching this playthrough. Small comment: When you pushed the five green cubes together, it made it harder to see how many there were.
Good to know, sorry about that.

Such elegant rules. No more paper money! No stock tokens!
Shame the board has no art though.

You are correct, it was largely for rules illustration purposes.
Like The King Is Dead but with trains.
Great explanation, but the game doesn't set any new visual benchmarks.
