The rules give three games that can be played with this deck: "Trolley," "Transfer," and "Matchem."
"Trolley" involves trick-taking to accumulate point-scoring sets.
"Transfer" is a game of passing cards to opponents until one player has a hand consisting of six identical cards.
"Matchem" not surprisingly, is matching cards in hand with face-up cards on the table.
The deck consists of ten each of "Car," "Conductor," "Motorman," "Passenger," "Fare," and "Transfer" cards, for a total of 60 cards.
Note that Shackman and Merrimack issued reproductions (for both the games Trolley and Trains) that were made in Hong Kong and have a post 1963 zip code.
