In Roll and Rails players take the roles of railway entrepreneurs. Each player develops their own network of railway connections to transport as many goods possible, to earn the most money and glory. Investing in your rolling stock and carefully choosing the path for your iron trail will bring you funds for further expansions, and precious victory points.
Roll and Rails is a roll & write game. It is different from typical games of that genre. The rules are more complicated, this is not just rewriting the score into tables. It is a more challenging game for more demanding players, but it also gives more satisfaction.
At the beginning of the game players draft dice, which is crucial as every value of the dice gives you a specific opportunities during the turn, so you must plan your moves long before you will have a chance to execute the actions. During the turn there are various actions to choose from like track building, upgrading your rolling stock and shipping goods.
Players can also benefit from help of one of the specialists each round: Logistician, Manufacturer, Engineer, Mechanic, Banker, and Urban Planner. After making actions and using the help, every player can ship one piece of goods and receive the victory points or funds for future investments.
