Railroad Ink Challenge

Railroad Ink Challenge is a route-drawing game in which you build a transportation network across your board over seven rounds. Roll the dice, draw the available routes and connect exits using railways, highways and stations. Your score depends on how you expand the network, while open connections cost points.

Build your network

Each round, use the routes shown by the dice to connect as many exits as possible. You can earn bonus points for your longest highway and railway, building into the central spaces of the map, and completing optional goals before they expire. Connecting special structures can trigger effects such as duplicating routes or unlocking powerful special routes.

The Forest and Desert expansions add special dice and rules that create more intricate landscapes for your highways and railways.

Solo and multiplayer

Play solo with random objectives and submit scores to the online rankings, which include Daily, Monthly and All-Time leaderboards. You can also challenge players around the world using custom game configurations. The leaderboards are cross-platform.

Multiplayer challenges are asynchronous: play a full game on your own, then post it online for other players to try to beat your score using the same dice and goals. You can also play asynchronous challenges with friends across platforms.
