## Description
Snowdonia: The Necropolis Line & Neuhauser Bockerlbahn adds two fresh scenarios to the Snowdonia universe. The Necropolis Line scenario transports the group from rainy Wales to Victorian London, where a purpose‑built railway moves the dead to leafy suburbs. Your Surveyor has passed away, so you must both lay the line and dig a proper grave. The Neuhauser Bockerlbahn scenario flips the setting to storm‑ravaged German forests; the railway was built to haul the fallen timber to sawmills. Now the wreckage only scores points after being "converted" at your mill. The expansion supplies 33 cards, including alternate contract versions, scenario‑specific trains (including an Elephant and a caterpillar‑tracked traction engine), and new station cards. Gameplay stays rooted in Worker Placement, but each scenario introduces its own goals and resource flows, demanding different strategies each play. Playtime hovers around 75 minutes for 1‑5 players, making it great for solo sessions or small groups. With a light weight (3.1/5), the expansion preserves a gentle learning curve while adding enough variety for veterans of Snowdonia. If you love rail‑themed construction, route planning, and a dash of historical humor, these two missions will feel like a perfect fit.
