There's just something satisfying about laying down tracks, and then slamming a train into your enemy. Battle Train is an interesting spin on deck-builders and there's a demo out now. Tested on Kubuntu Linux with Proton 9.0-2, it worked to perfection.

Here the game is set out like a game-show. You're given a deck a cards that includes train tracks, bombs and all sorts and you just have to get your track built up to the opponents outposts on the board. Then the trains can smash into the outposts destroying them and you win. Easier said than done, with all the different cards you get as you can imagine there's plenty of strategy involved.

More about it:

  • Duel a wide range of foes, each with their own unique cards and abilities.
  • Customize your train with your favorite power ups.
  • Build your deck with an array of cards--both functional and fantastical--to obliterate your opponent.
  • Win riches and prizes through a myriad of special events.
  • Experience a hilarious story told by the makers of "3 out of 10", Tower of Guns, and Mothergunship.

Really fun demo to try and, and really easy to understand and get into. Definitely worth a go.

Check out the demo on Steam.
