While the highways and railroads connect cities, wind turbines power them through cables in the Railroad Tiles: Energy Expansion by Horrible Guild Games. Add the 42 Energy Route tiles to the included cloth bag, place the fifteen wind-turbine tokens in the common supply, and replace the 3 placement tokens with objective flags with the ones supplied in this expansion, which contain wind turbine symbols. Route tile setup is illustrated in the included diagram, with energy tiles being added to the base game’s tile choices each round. Plan town tiles and city placements next to cable connections and power them with turbines to “energize” them. Supplement end-game scoring with points for each energized town tile, whether it is part of a city or not. If all town tiles that are part of a city are energized, earn eight points for each city instead of five. Once you have confidently mastered the turbines and cables, use the included energy-themed objective tiles or combine them with those from the base Railroad Tiles game. Three new solo mode challenges are also included. For 1-4 players with a 45-minute playtime. ~ Marsha

Description
Have fun building roadways, railroads, and cities with this unique, strategic tile-laying game. Published in 2025 along with eight expansions, Railroad Tiles is easy to get started with the base game and plays with up to 4 people ages 8 and up. Then, when you want more variety and challenge, sample some of the expansions to add various types of scenic tiles and new scoring goals.
Railroad Tiles Game: It all starts here, and all expansions require this base game to play. Following a concise, illustrated rulebook, use basic tile selection in turn order to choose the tiles each round to add to your quickly expanding travel network. This game and all its expansions include thematic route tiles to add to tile choices, and the game works best with only one expansion at a time being added to the base game. Also included with expansions are thematic challenge tiles as well as solo play challenges. Here is a brief overview of each expansion, with more detail available in each of their individual descriptions. All expansions require the base game to play.
Canals Expansion – Canal tiles transform your network as you place gondolas for travel on them and bridges to span them.
Countryside Expansion – Travel the countryside and add barns, fences, pastures, cows, pigs, and sheep to your expanding network.
Desert Expansion – Did you say camels!? Connect deserts to railroads and highways and place camel pawns in your new arid environment.
Energy Expansion – Do you hear the air crackling? It must be the energy you provide towns and cities with to power them up and earn more points!
Forest Expansion – Enjoy beautiful fall colors in the forest and equip forests with lookout towers to help keep wildlife and tourists safe.
Lakes Expansion – Create lakes and ports and place ferry tokens where the roads meet the water in your busy network.
Monuments Expansion – Play as an archaeologist traveling the highways and railroad lines while discovering sites to build arches, temples, and tower monuments.
Railroad Tiles: World Expansion – This is the only expansion that lets you play either with just the core game or with the core game AND any other expansion. Special pawns with unique placement rules (travelers, cars, and trains) provide added points.
