You will not be able to go for a swim, but in Railroad
Tiles: Lakes Expansion by Horrible Guild Games, you will have the power
to create lakes and ports and place ferry tokens where the roads meet the water
in your tile network. To start, place the 41 Lake Route Tiles in the included
cloth bag and set up the game using the chart in the manual that integrates expansion
tile offerings with the base game tiles. Add the port tokens and ferry pawns to
the general supply and swap out the car, train, and traveler placement tokens with
the included Ferry Placement Tokens. The remaining set up is the same as the
base game.
What is new and different about gameplay? You can place a
railroad or highway that terminates in a lake simply by placing a port token
where they meet. This facilitates connectivity to the lake with other ports so
that they are all part of one lake network, and in-game points are awarded
based on how many other ferries are located on that lake. With end-of-game
scoring, town tiles that border lakes in this expansion are used with town
tiles from the base game to help create cities, which earn 5 points each. There
are three new solo mode challenges as well as three sets of new objective tiles
for added end-game goal points. For 1-4 players with a 45-minute game time. ~
