Become an archaeologist traveling the highways and railroad lines while discovering sites to build Arches, Temples, and Tower Monuments when you play Railroad Tiles: Monuments Expansion by Horrible Guild Games. Set up the new Monument route tiles and integrate them into the tile choices per the included manual. Players put their newly furnished Archaeologist pawn (which matches their player token’s color) on their starting tile. Sort the monument pawns by type and place them in the general supply. Play proceeds like the core Railroad Tiles game with the additional step of using action points on each turn after placing your chosen tiles into your travel network. Use action points to move your Archeologist pawn through your highways and railroads to the sites of future monuments and then build them. Earn travel points during the game, a point for each monument built at the end of the game, and additional points for each set of different monuments you build. There are three objective tiles for more challenge and three new solo mode challenges. For 1-4 players with a 40-minute gameplay. ~ 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.
