Uncle Happy's Train Game

A crayon-rail game for kids that is reminiscent of Milton Bradley's classic "Game of the States". Has two levels of play: At the first level, players are dealt five state cards and have to connect them all together with rail along with an east-coast state and a west-coast state. The first to do this wins. At the second level, a random load chip is drawn and added to each of the five state cards. The winner is the first player to connect up all five states plus the states that produce the loads (the coastal states requirement is dropped). A spinner is spun each turn to determine how many (adjacent) states a player can hook up to their line.
