Super Trains: Superhero Trains Defending a Robot City

A new stretch goal unlocked! Vote for your favorite robot!
6 months ago – Mon, Apr 15, 2024 at 10:33:15 AM

Hello Gearland City!

We are in the final week of our campaign and we have just unlocked another stretch goal! We will now add either the SCHOOL KID BOTS or the CARNIVAL KID BOTS to all versions of Super Trains. 

SCHOOL KID BOTS

CARNIVAL KID BOTS

To vote for your favorite simply comment with SCHOOL KID BOTS or CARNIVAL KID BOTS in the main comment section of the campaign (not the comments on this update). We will count the votes at 9PM CST on Tuesday, April 16th. 

NEXT STRETCH GOAL REVEALED

I am thrilled to introduce our next stretch goal and very hopeful we get to include it in all Deluxe versions of Super Trains! 

Special Location Tiles are optional tiles that you can add to a space on the board to create a unique power that is available to all players. 

If a Super Train visits this PORTAL space on their turn they can discard any gear and then teleport to any location on the board!

If a Super Train visits this HQ space on their turn they can discard any gear and then punish that pesky Rollar by moving him back to his space in the middle of the board. This is very helpful if he is blocking a location that you'd like to visit. 

Final week!

We are in the final week of our campaign! Thank you so much for your support thus far, and if you feel like telling a few more people about this superhero train game for families now would be a super time to do so :) 

Rule the rails and save the day!

Stretch Goal Unlocked & Backer Vote - New Emergency!
7 months ago – Wed, Apr 03, 2024 at 07:11:15 AM

Hello Gearland City, 

We have unlocked our second stretch goal! By reaching $15k we will add a new Emergency to Super Trains:

EMERGENCY CARDS IN SUPER TRAINS

Rollar the evil semi-truck is tearing through the city and causing all sorts of problems. Each turn the ROLLAR DIE and the LOCATION DIE will be rolled to determine if and where an emergency will occur. 

Each of these cards depicts an emergency situation and which gears are needed to solve the emergency.

BACKER VOTE

So, which new emergency situation should we add to the game?

MUNCH ATTACK

Munch is one of Rollar's silly truck minions and he is determined to wreck Gearland. In this emergency one brave robot citizen is already standing up to Munch, but the Super Trains still need to swoop in and help teach Munch a lesson. 

ROBOCAT IN A TREE

A cat will be a cat, even if it is a robocat. Enzo the Electric Train is probably best suited to help save this robocat from the tree with his ladder, but any of the Super Trains will surely rush to rescue this cute creature. 

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE

To vote for your favorite simply comment with MUNCH ATTACK or ROBOCAT IN A TREE in the comment section of the main campaign (not the comments on this update). 

The emergency that has the most votes by 10PM CST tomorrow (Thursday, 4/4) will be the winner and included in Super Trains!

Rule the rails and save the day,

Nurse Bot Wins + Super Trains on TTS!
7 months ago – Mon, Apr 01, 2024 at 08:20:18 AM

Hello Gearland City, 

We have a new citizen of Gearland! After the backer vote our helpful Nurse Bot beat the Coffee Bot 16 votes to 10 and will be featured on a passenger card in Super Trains. Thank you to everyone who voted!

NEXT STRETCH GOAL

After the weekend we are already very close to unlocking our next stretch goal, which will result in another backer vote! Once we reach $15k a new EMERGENCY CARD will be added to the game. 

SUPER TRAINS ON TABLETOP SIMULATOR

I am thrilled to announce that you can now play Super Trains on Tabletop Simulator! Thanks to our amazing backer Andreas Gabel for creating the Super Trains Workshop on Steam! If you have Tabletop Simulator you can CLICK HERE to play. 

I will be back with another update once we hit $15K and unlock our second stretch goal. 

Have a great week while you rules the rails and save the day!

Backer Vote! Coffee Bot VS Nurse Bot!
7 months ago – Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 07:33:35 PM

Greetings Gearland City, 

We have unlocked our first Stretch Goal! By hitting $13K in funding we are adding a new robot character to the game. 

Passengers in Super Trains

In Super Trains a player will always have one passenger card on their train board. By delivering these citizens of Gearland to their desired destinations you will upgrade your train board or earn end game stars. 

So, who should we add to a new Passenger Card? 

COFFEE BOT

The Coffee Bot is trying to get Downtown to serve the hard working citizens their coffee. This is important, because robots love coffee. 

NURSE BOT

The Nurse Bot needs to get to the Hospital, and fast! She has a fresh battery for a robot that is running out of juice (it might have something to do with the lack of a Coffee Bot downtown). 

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE

To vote for your favorite simply comment with COFFEE BOT or NURSE BOT in the comment section of the main campaign (not the comments on this update). 

The bot that has the most votes by 10PM CST tomorrow (Friday, 3/29) will be the winner and included in Super Trains!

We have had a great first 3 days of our campaign and we are excited for the journey ahead. Our next stretch goal will be hit at $18K and I will have a new graphic for that tomorrow. 

Rule the rails and save the day,

Dustin

THANK YOU! We funded in less than 26 hours!

Good Evening Gearland City!

We did it! We have reached our funding goal and Super Trains will exist in this world, which is simply amazing. I am super thankful to the 145+ of you that have helped make it a reality. 

Our First Stretch Goal

Throughout this campaign we are going to be adding new robot characters to the Citizens of Gearland through stretch goals! Once we hit $13k you all will be able to vote on adding either the Coffee Bot who needs to get Downtown or the Nurse Bot who needs to get to the hospital! 

We are quite close to this goal and I can't wait to see who you choose. 

Super Trains on the Dice Tower:

In case you missed it yesterday morning Tom Vasel of the Dice Tower played Super Trains with his son Jimmy! They had a great time and the video below gives you a nice idea of how the game is played. 

Thank you again to everyone for helping us reach our goal. Seriously. This is our FIFTH successful Kickstarter as a company and it is an honor each time it happens. 

Please let me know in the comments if you have ANY questions about Super Trains. I'd love to answer them. 

Rule the rails and save the day!
