About the game
What you do in a play session
What makes this edition special are the shared objectives that add a dash of interaction and competition. Whoever completes these goals first secures the reward, so keep an eye on your opponents and try to be faster! The new dice bring unprecedented and mind-bending route configurations, and some special structures can lend a hand: factories duplicate dice, villages give bonus points near stations, and universities unlock special routes. The Shining Yellow Edition also features desert-themed elements, with cacti and oases, adding extra charm to your network-building journey. It's a game that fits in your pocket, is quick to play, and perfect for those who enjoy a strategic challenge with a touch of luck.
