About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're into the elegant vibe of 'The Royal Limited' and have already mastered the base game, get ready to upgrade your experience! The 'Conductors & VIPs' expansion arrives to supercharge your solo train journeys, bringing novelties that will shake up your game. It includes 3 new Conductor cards, each with a different side, which can alter the game's rules, influence how many cards you draw per round, or even extend the duration of your journey. Just imagine: suddenly, you have more rounds to score, or the card-drawing dynamic completely changes! To top off the glamour, 3 new VIPs enter the scene. They function similarly to the ones you already know, but two of them come with an extra challenge: multicolored tickets that restrict where you can place them. This adds an extra layer of planning and strategy, forcing you to think twice before making that decision. This expansion is perfect for those who want more replayability and a touch of extra complexity without overcomplicating things. It's the kind of addition that makes you want to keep playing 'The Royal Limited' over and over, exploring new combinations and strategies. Ideal for fans of the base game looking for fresh challenges in solo mode. It's like getting a new first-class carriage for your collection!
