About the game

What you do in a play session

India Rails is a railroad strategy game where you'll build tracks, connect cities, and make deliveries across India and Bhutan. Each player starts with a small capital to build their first routes and gradually expands their network to transport goods and earn money. The goal? Be the first to accumulate 250 million dollars and connect all major cities on the map. The crayon rail system adds a unique and customizable touch to the game, but be careful: every decision counts! With a hexagonal map and the need to plan efficient routes, India Rails is a fun and immersive logistical challenge. Perfect for fans of economic games with strong themes and intuitive mechanics.
