About this expansion

Railroad Ink: Engineer Expansion Pack is an expansion for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 30 minutes. Released in 2021, it requires at least one core set of Railroad Ink or Railroad Ink Challenge.

In the Railroad Ink puzzle game, players aim to connect as many exits on their boards as possible. Each round, a set of dice is rolled in the middle of the table, determining which roads and railway routes are available to everyone.

The Engineer Expansion Pack adds four special dice to use alongside the regular Route dice. These dice introduce new ways to shape your networks, modify routes, increase the challenge, and score points.

  • Construction die: Perform special actions and restructure your networks.
  • Renovation die: Modify pre-existing routes and add more connections to them.
  • Separation die: Add tricky expansion and never-connecting routes to make games more challenging.
  • Special die: Build Special Routes in a new way and score a lot of points.

All players work from the same dice results, but the expansion gives those results additional possibilities to consider. The special dice can help you reorganize existing networks, create further connections, or pursue a different scoring approach.

With its four distinct dice, Railroad Ink: Engineer Expansion Pack broadens the puzzle while preserving the core goal of connecting exits. Add it to a compatible core set for new network-building decisions and a fresh challenge.
