Lay tile after tile and build a branching network of roads and railways — but think two steps ahead, because one wrong choice and you're stuck.

What is the game about?

Amidst the smoke of a locomotive and the hum of busy thoroughfares, a community takes shape. In Railroad Tiles, round after round, you build your own miniature landscape: a patchwork of routes, stations, and towns that you carefully piece together. Railroad tracks and highways crisscross the scene, tiny wooden trains, cars, and travelers populate it, and city districts grow on the edges of your expanding infrastructure. It is the spiritual successor to Railroad Ink, but with real tiles in hand instead of a pen on paper — more tangible, more spatial, and with more control over every choice.

How do you play the game?

The game lasts eight rounds. Each round, new columns of tiles appear below the central station board, and players take turns choosing an entire column: they take all the tiles in it and place them one by one on their growing tableau. Tiles must connect to previously placed tiles, and tracks must connect to tracks, roads to roads — mismatches are not allowed. Each round, you can also place wooden tokens (trains, cars, or passengers) on empty spaces in your tableau; the available tokens vary each round. You earn points by building long, continuous networks: the more similar tiles a new placement connects, the more points. At the end, you also score bonus points for a large rectangle without gaps and for groups of three adjacent city tiles.

This is the ideal game for...

You can play this game with 1 to 4 players, from 8 years old. The duration is approximately 30 minutes. The language of the game is Dutch, but you can play the game completely language independent.

How is the game experienced?

Railroad Tiles is welcomed by enthusiasts from the Railroad Ink fanbase as a worthy step from pen-and-paper to tangible tiles. The puzzle experience is satisfying: the drafting system creates genuinely tense choices, the production quality is strong, and it plays smoothly within 30 minutes. For those who enjoy spatial optimization puzzles and tactical thinking in a compact format, it is a solid and accessible choice.
