About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a new railway adventure with Snowdonia: The Daffodil Line! This expansion introduces a novel scenario that shakes up the classic rules of the base game, adding a peculiar twist: daffodil collection! Yes, you read that right. Besides breaking stones and building the railway, you'll have to deal with these yellow flowers popping up along the way. The scenario is inspired by the historic Daffodil Line railway, which connected Ledbury to Gloucester in England and partly used the route of an old canal. In this advanced scenario, playable by 1 to 4 players, the fun is guaranteed as you fill canals and handle the new mechanics that emerge. It's a great choice for those who already enjoy the Snowdonia system and want an extra challenge with a slightly different theme and a touch of humor. Production was limited to around 750 copies, so if you find it, don't miss out! It's an expansion that adds an interesting layer without overcomplicating things, maintaining the essence of the game we already know and love, but with a welcome freshness. Ideal for those seeking a medium-weight game with an engaging board experience and a bit of unexpected strategy.
