Gold Train (aka. Train Wreck) is dice game where a player's score is recorded on a single peg track. Five dice are rolled, and points are awarded ones, fives, 3 or more of a kind, and straights. Several places along the track award bonus points. You may roll multiple times per turn, increasing your distance by accumulating past roll scores, but if you roll a "derail" (a non-scorable roll), you stay put instead of advancing. You can send your opponent backwards if you "rob" their train with dice instead of guns, and hope you prevail, or YOU go backwards instead! Clever game that is easy to learn.
