About this game

In Railroad Ink Challenge, you have 7 rounds to make as many points as possible. Roll the dice and draw the routes to connect the exits around your board. Expand your network with railways, highways, and stations to collect points, but you will be penalized for any open connections, so plan carefully! Play solo to improve your best score, or challenge players from all over the world!

HOW TO PLAY

Each round you will have to roll the dice and use the available routes to build your transportation network and connect as many exits as possible. Expand your network to collect points. You’ll also score bonus points for your longest highway and railway, for building into the central spaces of your map, and for completing optional, time-dependent goals before they expire.
You can also connect special structures to your network to trigger their special effects, such as duplicating routes, unlocking powerful special routes, and more. But beware: Try to not leave any open connections, as each one will cost you points at the end of the game.

EXPANSIONS

Forest and Desert expansions add special dice and rules to create even more intricate landscapes for your highways and railways.

Hey do you like Cartography & board games, then this is probably an instant buy. Yes it's cartography lite but its meant to be a fast experience. But don't let that fast experience fool you. Tons of depth to be found here, with more elaborate online challenges. Basically you roll the dice with various roads and rails printed on them some featuring stops, t-sections, curves, etc. and your basic objective is to hook up the exits, but it's more than just that. Worth the price of admission!

Great game, rating down for lack of support: publisher can't seem to swing a server to host user accounts, without this you cannot use any daily challenge feature. Update: there's server now! I can participate in the challenges and score attacks! Woohoo! Wait...I signed up, got an account, and now my Forest and Desert existing purchases are gone and clicking Restore Purchases has no effect. Keeping the 1 star review.

Hello, sorry for the long wait! To solve the expansion purchase issue, please check the FAQ on our Digital Customer Care page: https://horribleguild.com/us/customer-care-digital-apps/ Also, with update 3.1.8 all problems should have been solved. Please install the latest version, and feel free to share a positive rating if you find it improved!

Feb 2023: Abandoned by developers - it was a great game with so many features, but when they had to switch to a new server situation, they never did. I paid for a lot of content to be able to play with friends far away and now all that online functionality is completely gone. It's been at least four months without any kind of update, I think longer since we had the full game experience. June 2023: it's back online. I understand it's a small team, but timeline and communication would have helped

Hi and sorry for the late reply! The new online infrastructure for our apps is almost ready, we had to rebuild the multiplayer side basically from scratch, a very big task for our very small dev team. A new update, scheduled for release in the next few days, will address the remaining issues. Many thanks for your patience and understanding!
