Seven Trains by Matthew Bond
Tutorial is a little rough and can't be accessed mid-run. Here are some screenshots if you need to reference it, as well as a couple unmentioned tips! There are a lot of moving parts so we do recommend reading the tutorial in full.
Don't be afraid to pass a handful of turns without doing anything. Raiding trains is all about waiting for the right moment to strike!
In order to steal luxury goods from a train you have to capture them when they are on the return trip, otherwise you will only get the money they were going to use to buy the goods from another town.
There's a handy unmentioned hotkey: tab lets you cycle through any towns that are enraged.
Don't forget your goal! You win once you get enough of it.
Money and outlaws are plentiful until they aren't. Getting luxuries, money, or outlaws generally costs some of the other.
Don't forget to bribe! Too much infamy can be an easy way to get caught.
We recommend playing in fullscreen for the best experience.

I don't understand how to create blockades in a way where my infamy doesn't increase too much.
Anyways, the UI was really good and the game felt pretty polished.
