Cargo Kings FAQ

While we strive for clarity in our rule-book, some questions have come up and we address them here.

How do you count bonuses? Does a player getting Road Warrior count towards Moneybags?
Coins are counted first and then bonuses collected, so you would determine who had the most coins prior to awarding the Road Warrior bonus to distribute Moneybags.

Can you remain “freightless” on your turn or must you always have 1 card?
You do not have to have a freight card in hand. This may be advantageous if you know the end-game is imminent and do not want to risk a penalty for an uncompleted card.

What happens if a player has no freight cards but does not have enough coins to purchase?
In this unfortunate scenario, we suggest two things: first, congratulate yourself for a very unlikely situation; second, follow the typical steps of buying freight cards by drawing 5, but you can only keep one and will have a loan of 2 coins which must be paid back at the time of your completed card’s delivery & payout.

If a player has reached the end-game threshold and is returning to their home city, but lands on a Truck Stop with a “lose cargo” penalty card, do they continue home?
If the penalty reduces the total cargo below the end-game threshold, then they will need to complete an additional freight card to initiate the end-game again.

When can Coffee Cups be used?
The Coffee Cup can only be used during your turn.

Game Mode 2: Upgrade Cards
After paying the required cost during the Upgrade Zone, Upgrade Cards apply to current & future turns only. The Max Cargo bonus only applies to those Freight Cards completed after purchase of the Upgrade Card.
