$19.99Unrailed! Lay track before the train arrives
Build track just ahead of a moving train with up to four players, chopping wood, mining stone, and arguing politely about who took the only axe. Unrailed! is simple to learn, chaotic in the best way, and perfect for party crowds who like laughing at their own teamwork.

Lay track or lose the train
You chop trees, mine stone, craft rails, and lay them before the train runs out of track. There is only one axe, one pickaxe, and one bucket, so someone always has to wait, swap, or shout for help. You cool the engine with water, clear blocked paths, fend off animals and thieves, and bolt on wagons like a supercharger or crafting wagon.
Rounds run on procedurally generated blocky maps with changing weather and day and night, across distinct biomes with their own obstacles. You watch the train edge closer to bare ground while your friend sprints back with the last rail. It is fast, loud, and very funny when the plan falls apart.
Co-op chaos and friendly sabotage
Play together with up to four players online, on the couch, or mixed, with simple controls and split keyboard and controller options. Endless mode is the main survival run, with Quick and Sandbox options for shorter sessions and a 2-versus-2 Versus mode when party crowds want to test each other instead.
Easy rules make it a good pick for mixed skill groups, including kids and non-gamers: grab a job, follow the train, keep laying track. Random maps and wagon upgrades keep runs different, though the core loop stays the same — chop, craft, lay, repeat — so it suits an evening of laughing together more than a hundred-hour obsession.
Good to know before you play?
Is it easy to explain to new players?
Yes. The jobs are physical and obvious: chop wood, mine stone, carry water, lay track. There is one of each tool, so newcomers learn by grabbing one task and sticking to it while the train teaches urgency.
How long is a session?
Quick mode and Versus fit short party slots, while Endless runs keep going until the train derails, with stations acting as checkpoints. Sandbox lets party crowds practice building and wagon upgrades without the pressure of losing.
Can you play it solo?
You can play alone with a bot helper that chops, cools the train, and chases off trouble, and easier difficulties suit solo runs. It works, but the fun is dividing jobs under pressure, so solo is better as practice for the next group night.
