Our take on Railroad Ink Challenge

Each game lasts seven rounds, with dice determining which routes can be drawn and open connections costing points at the end.

What is Railroad Ink Challenge?

Create a transport network across seven turns.

In each turn, dice determine which railway, road, and station paths can be drawn on the map to join its exits. Score for the connected network, the longest road and railway, paths reaching the middle areas, and optional goals finished before their deadlines. Special buildings may copy paths or reveal unusual route types. Any unconnected ends reduce the final score. Solo mode supplies changing objectives and tracks online standings. In asynchronous challenges, other players receive the dice results and goals from a finished game and compete against its score. The Forest and Desert add landscape-specific dice and gameplay rules.
