There's also Tetromino, for those who enjoy planning and optimizing space like an urban planning master. And for those who like strategic conflict, there are Galactic Invaders, allowing you to attack opponents and defend against alien invasions. Oh, and we can't forget Rainbow, to fill your board with color and send some ominous clouds to mess with your rivals. Each die brings a unique challenge, with new ways to score points and interact. It's your chance to replay your favorite Railroad Ink with a brand new twist, whether you're playing solo or competing with friends. Remember, you need a base Railroad Ink game to use this gem. Let's draw some routes and see who's the best! ## FAQ ### Do I need the base Railroad Ink game to use this expansion? Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion, so you need to own Railroad Ink or Railroad Ink Challenge to use the new dice and rules. ### How many players does this expansion support? The expansion maintains the player count of the base game, which is for 1 to 4 players. It adds more variety but doesn't change the number of participants. ### Does the game time change with this expansion? Generally not. The playtime remains similar to the base game, between 15 to 30 minutes per session, as the new mechanics are integrated smoothly. ### Does this expansion make the game harder? It adds more options and challenges, which might seem a bit more complex at first. However, the goal is precisely to bring more fun and new strategies, not necessarily to make the game prohibitive. ### What are the 4 new dice/themes included? The four new dice are: Pluck-Man (for feeding and eating ghosts), Tetromino (for urban planning), Galactic Invaders (for attack and defense), and Rainbow (for colorful scoring and clouds). ### Can I mix the dice from this expansion with the base game dice? Yes! That's the main appeal: you can choose which dice to use in each game, mixing the base game dice with the expansion dice to create unique combinations and increase replayability. ## Price Comparison ### Best Offers in Brazil - **Amazon**: R$ 102,41 (https://www.amazon.com.br/dp/B091MV6C4T?tag=bgbot26b-20&linkCode=as2) - See all on Compara Jogos: https://www.comparajogos.com.br/item/railroad-ink-arcade-expansion-pack
