How to Win Railroad Ink

[@wingames9172]

First play through score is actually 66 points as the longest road (12:57) was counted as 15 when it is really 17. A bigger win than we thought!

Really like those tiles. Would save me from a lot of drawing ;)

Thanks! I scanned the instruction images and printed them on address labels. Then I chopped up a long square stick of wood with a miter saw and stuck the stickers on the cut edge. They're great for solo play, but I can't imagine making enough for a group. It's tough to know how many straight roads you're going to roll!

This is excellent content. Will you be doing similar videos for the expansions too?

[@wingames9172]

Probably not. I tend to stick to the base game unless it's a game like Tapestry that I always play with the expansion. Often the expansions involve slight tweaks to the base strategy to maximize or accommodate the variations. It's an interesting study, but I'm usually more interested in figuring out the next game on my shelf.

Excellent. I do think the Challenge version should make your list,. Adds interesting options.

I’ve started to explore lava a bit and it’s a whole different game! I like it.

[@NUHistorian]

Did you make your own game tiles???? Details, please!

[@wingames9172]

Yes! I scanned the instruction images and printed them on address labels. Then I chopped up a long square stick of wood with a miter saw and stuck the stickers on the cut edge. They're great for solo play, but I can't imagine making enough for a group. It's tough to know how many straight roads you're going to roll!

Excellent 👍

[@wingames9172]

Thanks! Conveniently this one plays quickly, because most of the strategy was developed through repeated trials.

Try the challenge version of the game!

[@wingames9172]

I really should! I often find myself bringing this out with new gamers, and we never quite get to the next level.

Can you come to my house, please-

Hi! I'm doing my master's thesis in determining the optimal strategy in this game, I would like to contact you if this is possible? Thanks in advance! :)

[@wingames9172]

Certainly! Just use the business e-mail link in the 'About' section of the channel (recently activated).
