About the Game
Rails & Rivals is a digital railroad board game where you build railroad networks, deliver goods, and compete to become the wealthiest railway owner.
Inspired by classic train board games, it brings tabletop strategy to your screen with modern 3D visuals. Build tracks across a hex map. Pick up goods from cities. Deliver them to matching destinations. Earn money for every route your cargo travels.
Simple to learn, but every choice shapes your path to victory. Terrain affects your budget - mountains cost more than plains, and crossing rivers or ridges adds extra fees. You can issue bonds for quick cash, but you'll pay dividends every turn.
Perfect for fans of economic strategy games and train-themed board games.
