Lucky Train Description

Lucky Train is that rarest of things, a completely novel social game. This train simulator doesn't bear an immediate resemblance to any other game this reviewer is familiar with, console or otherwise. It's not even very much like Railroad Tycoon, which is certainly the direction you'd expect a train-themed social game to go in. Instead Lucky Train takes the gamble of building itself almost entirely around its social mechanic, which involves creating train routes and then adding your friends to them as “stops” along the line. You load trains up with passengers from your buildings, then send them on trips to make money. You spend money on decorations in Lucky Train, which is less bland than it sounds. All of the decorations available in Lucky Train are themed around the sorts of things you use to decorate a model train track: little buildings, trees, landscaping. The designs of the objects and the trains themselves also recall model trains. Effectively, Lucky Train is not so much as a train simulator as a model train simulator, something that's useful given how expensive a hobby model train building can become. Right now the game could really use more variety in its types of decoration but hopefully this is something that will expand given time. Lucky Train is in very good shape for a relatively young social game. It's most fun if you can get a bunch of other people to play with you, but the novelty of the model train theme may make it worth checking out by itself. Social games are still a bit clone happy, which makes a game as strikingly original as Lucky Train memorable.

Lucky Train Reviews

Pros: Novel concept for a Facebook game. Resources don't have a “withering” mechanic that punishes you for not playing for a few days. The theme really nails the appeal of model trains. Social mechanic is clever.

Cons: Not very interesting if you can't get a lot of friends to play with you. Gameplay can be a little dull. The game needs more types of buildings and terrain decorations. A lot of items cost real money.
