🚛 Games with Strong Trucking/Logistics Feel

  • Ticket to Ride (Map Expansions: USA 1910, France, Old West): Route claiming = lane assignment. Not trucking, but same brain.
  • Carcassonne (with Traders & Builders / The River): Road building = network logic.
  • Power Grid: Resource transport (coal/oil/uranium) via network. Economic trucking.
  • Container: Shipping logistics (ships/trucks), market manipulation. Heavy econ.
  • Pipeline: Oil refining + pipe-laying. Adjacent logistics.
