Publisher's Description:

Name Train is fun to play, easy to learn, exciting and will get you thinking. But, best of all, to play it all you need to know are the names of some famous people, films and TV programmes.

You then use just the first and last letters of those names so that you can collect all your passengers and take them where they need to go.

But... knowing some famous names is the easy bit, the real skill comes in what names to use and how many names you know that end in X, Y or Z.

Why? Because less names start with X, Y or Z and if the player(s) following you can't say one within 60 seconds you get to take one of their passengers.

Name Train is definitely not a question and answer game, it is something much, much more. Because its not a Q & A game, it will never date. In fact the game updates itself because there are always new films being released, TV programmes being made, rising stars, etc. so you will never have to go and buy an expensive box of update cards.
