Ride the Rails: Australia & Canada

About this expansion

Ride the Rails: Australia & Canada is an expansion for 3–5 players, offering approximately 60 minutes of play across two new maps.

The expansion includes a double-sided game board featuring Australia on one side and Canada on the other. Each map introduces a distinct setting for connecting cities with the six railroad companies.

On the Australia map, new long-distance hexes let players connect far-away cities. These routes provide massive bonuses, creating valuable opportunities for connections across the expansive landscape.

Australia also presents a tougher building challenge. Its rugged terrain reduces build capacity even further, adding an additional limitation to construction as players plan their railroad connections.

On the Canada map, multiple clusters of cities await connection. Toronto offers a special incentive: it provides a bonus for every railroad company that connects there.

• Australia: Long-distance hexes, massive bonuses, and rugged terrain that further reduces build capacity.
• Canada: Multiple city clusters and a Toronto bonus for all railroad companies connecting there.
• Both maps: New ways to introduce the six railroad companies during the game.

These two maps give the expansion different challenges and rewards while adding new company-introduction rules to both sides of the board. Whether planning across Australia’s distant cities or seeking the benefits of Toronto, Ride the Rails: Australia & Canada expands the possibilities for railroad connections.

Released in 2021, this expansion is designed for players looking for fresh routes, new bonuses, and distinct map-based challenges within the Ride the Rails experience.
