I thought this game was taken off the App Store but no it’s still on seeing this game after 9 years is really a trip down memory lane :)

Coming back after a few years and wow, that hit of nostalgia when you hear the “ding ding ding” it just feels like a game that was made a hot minute ago. What would be a good addition to the game would be adding more trains and maps, but if you have a child who likes trains this is a great option. So happy that I opened it up again 🥰😌
