RAILROAD INK: DEEP BLUE EDITION - In Railroad Ink, your goal is to connect as many exits on your board as possible. Roll the dice to determine which kind of road and railway routes are available this round, then draw the routes on your erasable boards to create transport lines and connect your exits! Try to optimize the available symbols better than your opponents: the more exits you connect, the more points you score at the end of the game, but you lose points for each incomplete route, so plan carefully! Railroad Ink? comes in two versions, each one including two expansions with additional dice sets that add new special rules to your games: the Deep Blue Edition includes the River and Lake expansions. RIVER EXPANSION: Rivers are a third kind of Route. Sort of. They can?t be used to connect Exits, but they can be connected to each other to create a River. Rivers can?t be crossed by Highways or Railways, unless a Bridge face on a River die allows you to do so. The additional goal is to make the Longest River possible, because at the end of the game, you gain 1 point for each space the River runs through. If both ends of the River are connected to the outer edge of the board, you get 3 additional points. Usage: Optional. Difficulty: Easy. Rounds: 6. LAKE EXPANSION: Lakes have two advantages. First of all, they allow you to create bigger Networks by connecting your Routes to a Lake with the Pier faces on the Lake dice, because Networks connected to the same Lake (by Piers) are also connected to each other. You also score 1 additional point for each space occupied by the Smallest Lake on your Board. Remember: if a space has 3 sides adjacent to the open sides of Lakes, it must be completely filled with water immediately. Usage: Optional. Difficulty: Easy. Rounds: 6. Designers: Hjalmar Hach, Lorenzo Silva. Artist: Marta Tranquilli. Age: 8+. Players: 1-6. Playing Time: 15?/30?.
