“A litle too basic?”

When using EE to introduce new players to crayon railroading, we alter the set-up a bit. Now, mind you, the vast majority of people I have taught it to were already “gamers” to some degree, just new to crayon rail games.

1) Teaching non-gamers or kids: use the set-up & start rules in the book (starting delivery cards and initial track build set up based on color).

2) Teaching Gamers: ignore the “initial set-up” rules. Let players start wherever they want to build their 1st track. Random draw of delivery cards. Helps invest them in their starting decisions. They won’t feel hand-held.
