Around the end of the 19th century, a growing network of railway lines was built in Europe, allowing people to travel to the major cities to visit beautiful structures influenced by Art Nouveau and Historicism.

In Free Ride, you are one of several people in charge of building railway lines, connecting the cities in Europe, and carrying passengers to those cities. The game board shows 45 cities connected by a network of potential routes, and all railway lines built will be one of three types: lines owned by you, lines owned by fellow players, and state-owned lines. When you travel along railway lines, you pay nothing to travel on your lines and state-owned lines. To travel on a fellow player's line, however, you must pay them 1 coin, which converts their line to state-owned. From then on, traveling on that line is free for all players. As coins are limited, you should carefully balance the building of your lines with the conversion of fellow players' lines to state-owned lines.

Where do you want to build? At the start of play, each player drafts part of a travel route. Multiple travel routes are available for choosing, and each travel route consists of three cards. When you choose a route, you take either the first and second cards or the second and third cards as your starting and ending point (in that order). Return the unchosen card of that route to the box. Place your train on that starting location. On a turn, take one of three actions:

Spend up to 2 construction points to place 1 or 2 rails from your personal supply on the board on vacant spaces, optionally spending 1 coin to buy five more rails from the supply before doing so. Rails cost 1 or 2 construction points to build. You must finish a line between cities before starting a new one.
Ride the rails, moving your train from one city to another over completed railway lines (paying an opponent if necessary) up to two times. If you reach or pass over the destination city of your travel route, you place the two cards of that route face down in front of you. You can then claim a new travel route, but only if your train is in or passes through your chosen starting city for that route. When city cards start to be drawn from the second 45-card deck, you can now have two routes underway; when city cards start to be drawn from the third deck, you can move from one city to another up to three times on a turn.
If you have 0 or 1 rails, you can take 5 rails from the supply at no cost.
Once the third deck is empty, you can either withdraw from the game with uncompleted routes (returning those cards to the box) or keep taking turns until you finish all your routes, at which point you immediately gain 1 coin and withdraw. In either situation, you earn 1 coin (and do nothing else) on each subsequent turn. Once all players have withdrawn, you tally your score, earning 3 points for each coin, 5 points for the first card you have of a city, and 2 points for each other card you have of a city. (Each of the 45 cities appears once in each of the three decks.) Whoever has the most points wins.

Free Ride also offers a difficult solo challenge!

Great Industrial Style Shelf - Easy Install and Sturdy Build
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 3 Tiers 24 Inch
I'm really happy with this 3-tier industrial pipe shelf bracket! It fits perfectly with my industrial chic/light steampunk decor theme and adds exactly the vintage industrial look I was going for. Installation: Took me about an hour to get it completely mounted, which was totally reasonable. All the necessary hardware was included, and the instructions were straightforward. I mounted it to drywall without any issues. Quality: The build quality feels solid and sturdy - definitely not flimsy like some wall shelves I've tried. It holds weight as expected, and I have confidence it'll support my display items long-term. Functionality: I'm using it to display various decorative items and knick-knacks, and it's perfect for that purpose. The three tiers give me good display space without taking up floor space. Style: The retro industrial pipe design is spot-on if you're going for that aesthetic. It really complements an industrial chic or steampunk theme well. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for functional floating shelves with industrial character. Good value for the quality and style you get.

Great product

Great item. I love the look, it’s perfect for displaying my collection. I didn’t actually set it up per the instructions, I modified it, but it’s like legos, you can get creative. I only attached the top and they hang. Use better fasteners though, I don’t trust the ones they provide

These were a great purchase! I bought two of them, and they look great in my son’s room, as he likes to collect and display action figures. The wood shelves and metal bars are of good quality and are also the perfect size and height. Also excellent value for the price!

Nice shelves that will work with some modifications
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 6 Tiers, Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 6 Tiers
Pay attention to the bottom shelf and where it is relative to the floor. It’s only about 6 inches, which isn’t good for a retail environment. I swapped the bottom nipples out for some 10” nipples and the results were night and day. So much better now.
