Who am I?

Since before I could walk, I have been obsessed with the intricate subway network beneath New York City. For train nerds: My favorite train is the R142A and R32.

One night, before I went to sleep, I had an idea! What if it were possible to use the subway network as a game board? This first iteration was titled Race to Coney Island.

The game board was printed on a piece of tabloid paper, and the cards hand-made on index cards. The game pieces were random bits found around my apartment and school.

Then, a year after this first version, I wanted to play with the entirety of the subway! I went to work, designing a new board with more stations and lines, and new gameplay mechanics to make the game more interesting. 

A teacher of mine, after playing the game, pulled me aside, and told me how much they enjoyed the game. They said they would want their own copy. 

I thought, maybe more people want to play my little train game. I figured out how to print one copy from a company for $150, and now was able to play on a real board with real cards. 

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, I had 165 backers pledged $9,476 to bring the game to life. I was able to print 300 copies!

It is a dream to finally put my game into production and share my creation with the rest of the world. Fewer than 100 copies of the first printing remain. You can order yours today, shipped straight from New York City.
