What is Islands & Trains?
A single-player building sandbox set on miniature islands. You lay railway tracks past villages and through forests, shape the landscape, place animals, and watch trains travel through your creations. There are no missions or timers.
For you if...
- +you enjoy arranging model train layouts and miniature scenery

Not for you if...
- −you prefer guided challenges over open-ended construction
What players say
90% of 594 reviews are positive
Players praise the miniature train-set look and relaxed pace. Their most common complaint is cumbersome placement: tracks and scenery often cannot overlap, and tracks cannot run beneath ordinary bridges.
