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.
Lucky Train is a Facebook game developed by A Bit Lucky, Inc. that lets players run a train station in their own county. Send different trains to friends around the world by adding routes and loading them with passengers while building a thriving county. This quick start guide will provide you with tips to get started playing Lucky Train.
Train routes have been connecting people and places to each other for centuries, so it seems only natural for Lucky Train to do the same on Facebook. The brand new title from startup A Bit Lucky combines elements of the railroad tycoon genre (think Sid Meier's Railroads!) with city building and a heavy dose of social gameplay.
