We finished tonight.I liked the train schedule, and trying to hunt down Mamma O, but wish it was introduced earlier and instead of punching it you checked off cities and could use it to track information you learned throughout the game to hunt Mamma O.
Overall, the end of the game felt bloated - events became unpredictable, tickets could be anywhere, half the rules didn’t exist anymore, and the other half felt a bit tedious.
We really enjoyed the game, but it easily could have been something a little slower burn. The early games were great, trying to maximize events was great, company towns were great, making tracks was great, gaining a card when laying track was great.
