Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Railroad Tiles, everything revolves around building the most efficient network of roads and railways. You select tiles from a shared market, cleverly connect them, and then aim to score as many points as possible by placing cars, trains, and passengers in the most optimal way.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Let’s get it on the table<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this game, you spend eight rounds building your own network. You create routes with tiles, form cities by grouping town tiles, and aim to make clever connections to maximize your score.

Placing tiles<\/strong>
You place your tiles one by one, following strict placement rules. Each tile must connect on at least one side to an existing tile. You may rotate and flip tiles, but matching sides must connect correctly: rail to rail, road to road, and empty to empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t place a tile legally, you must discard it. Over the course of the game, you may only voluntarily refuse a tile twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Placing pawns<\/strong>
After building comes scoring. Based on the active Placement tokens, you may place pawns. For each token, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
