Get ready for a railway and highway adventure with Railroad Ink Challenge: Lush Green Edition, a quick-playing roll-and-write game for 1 to 4 players! Grab your board and dry-erase marker and dive into network building. Each round, you roll the dice and use the results to draw routes connecting the exits around your board. The goal is to expand your railway and highway network, connecting stations and special structures to accumulate points. But beware: open connections at the end of the game are costly, so plan wisely!
This edition of Railroad Ink Challenge takes everything we love from the original Railroad Ink games and elevates it to a new level, with a greater focus on player interaction. Now, there are in-game goals that reward whoever completes them first, adding a strategic race and the need to keep an eye on your opponents. And don't worry about repetition: a different set of goals appears each game, ensuring that every play is a unique experience. Furthermore, new dice bring unprecedented route configurations and special structures that activate powerful effects: factories allow you to duplicate a die, villages give bonus points near stations, and universities unlock extra special routes. Use these bonuses wisely to skyrocket your score! The Lush Green Edition, in particular, invites you to create serene forest landscapes, transforming your board into a beautiful arboreal paradise with an exclusive expansion dice set.
