Railroad Ink is a competitive family puzzle game. Roll dice, draw routes on your board, connect exits to score points. Make it challenging with one of the two included expansions: rivers and lakes (blue).

The game spans 7 rounds. Connect exits by drawing routes to earn points. The more exits connected in the same network, the more points you earn. Bonus points for your longest railway, longest highway, and drawing in the central fields.

At the start of each round, one player rolls all the route dice. The result determines routes all players must draw in that round. After the roll, all players simultaneously draw the routes indicated by the dice on their own boards. Complete as many routes as possible to score the most points.

If you're familiar with the rules of the Railroad Ink base game, add challenge by incorporating one of the two optional expansions.
