Railroad Tiles: World Expansion

Introducing the World Expansion—a thrilling addition that enhances your gameplay experience and is offered free to all backers of this campaign! This unique expansion stands out as it seamlessly integrates with the core game and any other expansions, giving you the flexibility to mix and match. Unlike thematic expansions that limit you to one at a time, the World Expansion opens up new avenues for adventure.

Within this expansion, you'll find two exciting types of components: additional Objective tiles and Special pawns.

New Objectives
The World Expansion introduces fresh Objectives that function just like the ones in the core game. These new tiles expand your options when choosing your 3 Objectives at the beginning of the game. You’ll strategically place these Objectives when a Placement token with a flag is revealed on the Station board, creating additional scoring conditions for the endgame. For instance, the Observatory Objective must be strategically placed in a column or row featuring at least 6 tiles to maximize your points!

Special Pawns
Each Special pawn corresponds to one of the main types—Cars, Trains, or Travelers. For example, there’s a unique Bus pawn classified as a special Car pawn, bringing its own set of rules that influence where and how many points you earn from your placements. Take the Mechanic, a special Traveler pawn that can be placed not only on a regular Traveler pinpoint but also on a Train pinpoint. If you opt for this clever strategy, you earn an extra point!

To unleash the power of these Special pawns, you'll need to wait for the corresponding Placement token to appear, just as you would with regular pawns. However, there’s an intriguing twist: you can only place a Special pawn if you already have at least 2 pawns of the same type on your network. The connections don’t need to be direct, but optimizing placement will certainly give you a scoring edge!

Prepare to dive into a realm of limitless possibilities with the World Expansion—your game nights will never be the same!
