Your mission is to guide Thomas and his load of carriages, some of which you have to pickup along the way through to the train station at the other end of the line. In your way though, are other trains on the track so watch out for them! When a train is approaching a red flag will hover over Thomas, so it helps you to plan accordingly. There are also bonus items on the track to pickup along the way which will help to increase your score.There is also a 'memory' game that you can choose to play, and you can choose either 12 or 18 cards. Quite a fun little game. The thing I really liked about this game, that brought back some nice memories is that it plays the Thomas The Tank Engine song while you're playing - although due to it repeating it can become annoying quite quickly, but the good thing is you can turn it off if you like.
