About the game

What you do in a play session

The Forest Expansion is a breezy, fun addition to Railroad Tiles, perfect for those wanting extra challenge without complexity. Your goal? Spread forests across your map, but strategically: groups of 3+ adjacent trees score 3 points each! Plus, Lookout Towers are your wildcard — place them for bonus points based on surrounding forests. Watch out for objectives though: the Witch's House hates nearby towers, and the Campground demands at least 4 neighboring forests. Great for casual players or newcomers, this expansion keeps the base game's simplicity while adding tasty tactical layers. Pro tip: plan your forests like a savvy ranger, not a lost lumberjack!
