Title:
Railroad Rivals
Description:
In Railroad Rivals you connect cities via one of the twelve great railroads that stretched across the United States, while simultaneously building your stock portfolio. You then use those railroads to make deliveries that drive up the price of your stocks. At the end of the game, the player who has run the most profitable railroad while also owning the most valuable stocks becomes the greatest of all of the railroad rivals!
In more detail, Railroad Rivals is a tile-drafting and tile-laying game in which you build a railroad empire that stretches across America…and across your table. Each turn you draft one new city tile and one new railroad stock tile. You then lay one of your city tiles next to a city tile that is already on the table to create a link between the two cities. The matching edges must both have the same railroad on them. Each newly laid city gets one or more randomly drawn colored cubes placed on it that represent the goods that can be delivered from that city. After all players have laid their city tile, you deliver one goods cube using one of that city’s railroad links. This gives you points and raises the value of that railroad stock.
At the end of the game, your score is the total of all of the points that you received from deliveries, from other players using your railroad links, and from the value of all of your railroad stock tiles.
HOTELS
The owning player gains 1 point whenever a Goods Cube is delivered to that City Tile by any player (final destination in the case of a Water Tower delivery).
WATER TOWER
Whenever the owning player delivers a Goods Cube to a City Tile containing their Water Tower, they may continue the delivery to an adjacent city on a valid link. (Note: they may not send it back to the original city).
The impact of this is:
Both railroads used for the delivery have their stock value increased by ‘1’.
The delivering player gains points for the delivery as normal (not twice).
Other players who own any Links (locomotives) used, also score 2 points for each link used to transport the Goods Cube.
The owner of a Hotel only scores if their Hotel in the final destination City Tile where the shGoods Cube was delivered.
