Design & run train games allow you to play and learn everything about train craft and driving. You will learn how to control a train as it goes around a track, activate different horns, control speed, add and remove wagons, use railroad switches, listen to real train station announcements, and train riding around tracks. Design & craft all the parts of the train to ride on railway tracks. You can build unique trains by putting together pieces of colorful bricks like a puzzle. You can select from multiple varieties of classical locomotive templates, which range from old steam train to powerful diesel locomotive to modern high-speed train. Optionally, they can create entirely new designs using various brick styles and train parts. Once a train has been built, you can thus go on the railway and experience exciting train riding adventures.
MugenCards
Read full descriptionHide full description
MugenCards is a simple card game that can be played endlessly. The player is presented with two to six cards. Pick a red card and your coins will increase. Pick a blue card and your coins will decrease. You can pick a card simply by pressing one of the cards shown on the screen. After picking a card, you will then proceed to the next round. Try to keep playing for as long as you can by avoiding the blue cards! If your coins reaches zero, then it's game over. As long as you still have some coins left after picking a card, you will be able to proceed to the next round. The speed at which the blue card switches with a red card will increase as you proceed to higher rounds. The coins you can earn/lose from the cards will increase with each round, thus both the risk and reward of playing another round will increase with each round you decide to play. Try to pick a red card each round!
