There's a Yak on the Track! He's holding up the train and making the animals late. While Rocco the Rhino works to move the Yak, you try to steal as many of the train cars as possible.

Yakson the Yak lived near a railroad in the forest. Being a fussy eater, he knew all the tastiest grass grew between the rails of the tracks; so whenever he was hungry, Yakson would stand right in the middle of the tracks to eat. Luckily for Yakson, the train has an expert at the wheel.

Rocco is the best railroad engineer around. He is the only one who can stop fast enough to save Yakson, but what is his thanks? Every time he stops, that Yak steals all of his train cars!

In this 2-5 player game, plays put down a yak card to steal all the train cars played. The player with the most stolen cards at the end of the game wins.

How to Play: Deal each player 5 cards. Place the rest of the cards face down in the middle as a draw pile.

Place the Rocco the Rhino Engine card face up. Draw one train card from the draw pile and put it on the end of the engine card to start the train.

Each player takes turns adding train cards end to end so that the color and character at the end of the last train card matches the one you are playing.

After you put down a card, draw a new card from the draw pile so you have 5 cards in your hand. If you can't play a train card on your turn, pass and don't draw. Play moves to the next player.

If you have a yak card, you can play it on your turn or hold it to play later. After playing a yak card, player picks up all the cards in the train, expect for the engine, and places them in a pile in front of them. The game continues until all 5 yaks have been played.

The person with the most cards from the train (including the yaks) wins.

Wild Zebra can be played if you can't play anything else. Play Wild Zebra and then play the card of your choice, drawing 2 instead of 1 card to bring your hand back to 5.
