What is Cretaceous Rails?

Travel back in time to the Cretaceous era, build a rail network into the jungle, take time-traveling tourists on safari to see their favorite dinosaurs in the wild, and build a resort full of attractions to customize your strategy with exciting abilities. Cretaceous Rails features an innovative dual-action worker placement system, route building, tableau building, and resource management. Utilize the resources of the Cretaceous jungle to build the optimal combination of attractions for abilities and scoring. —description from the publisher
