Most games make you play the way they want you to play and give little control over the environment. Thoughts of Trains hands the settings over. You set the train speed, train interval, open stations, even the scenery like lakes, trees and season. Make it slow and gentle for a kid, or fast enough to break you. Every map is grown from a seed word or phrase. 1000's and 1000's of different maps. Too many for your lifetime. Share your seed and settings with a friend and they can play the same map.
