About the game

What you do in a play session

In Rail Raiders Infinite, get ready for a frantic space-western adventure where you and your friends become intergalactic outlaws. The goal is to raid the Interstellar Express, a space train full of riches, but beware: the fearsome Tinstar Lawbots and the relentless Galactic Central Bank are watching your every move. This 2-4 player game, featuring chibi-style miniatures, blends sci-fi and the Wild West in a hilarious and action-packed way.

During the game, you control a Raider with unique abilities, moving from car to car in search of loot. Each car starts face down, creating an element of surprise: you never know if you'll find treasure or a Lawbot ambush. Revealing a car might bring loot tokens or trigger 'Long Arm of the Law' cards, which bring more robots into the fray, or even speed up the train, shortening your raiding time. Actions are simple: Move, Search (for loot), or Showdown (with Lawbots or other Raiders). But pay attention, only two actions of the same type per turn! And to resolve combat and other situations, poker dice rolling is key: whoever makes the best hand wins.

The game's clock is dictated by 'High Noon' cards, which bring special effects each turn and, when exhausted, mean the train has reached the station. It's time to jump off with as many 'double-dollars' as possible before it's too late. Rail Raiders Infinite is a race against time full of bluffs, temporary alliances, and betrayals, where the biggest haul defines the grand winner. Prepare your dice and your courage for this space journey!
