Small Railroad Empires Chugs Into Stores This August

May 21, 2021

Archona Games has an interesting looking railroad game arriving this summer. Small Railroad Empires focuses on pick up and delivery as well as route building to win. The game is for two to four players, ages 13+, plays in 30 to 60 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $39.00 when it hits stores in August.

About the game:

Small Railroad Empires is a pickup and deliver, track-laying and set-collection board game for 2-4 players, where players build railroad tracks, send trains with goods from industries to cities, and complete achievements to earn prestige!

During their turn, players will build their tracks by placing 2 trains on the modular board. When building tracks, players must pay the gold costs for the different terrain that the track passes through. Once a track connects an industry that produces a good with a city that demands that certain good, the player may send a train to complete the delivery and earn gold depending on the track length.

Players will also race to complete achievements such as: “Be first to make 4 deliveries” or “Be first to build 3 Tunnels” for which they will earn extra prestige.

Finally, when all players run out of tracks to lay down, the game ends. Player calculate the final prestige points they have from the achievements and the player with the most prestige is the winner!
