“Freight on Board” is the new mini-expansion for Small Railroad Empires in which players will be able to export containers of goods with the boat in port!
When a player delivers a good with their train route, if they match the good displayed on the Boat card, they will be able to place their own container there. When the boat is full, it will sail away to export those goods, and the player that put the most containers on that boat will win the export and gain Prestige!
All that, plus a gorgeous looking playmat is available in our store!

OVERVIEW
Small Railroad Empires is a pickup and deliver, route building and set collection board game for 1-4 players.
In this game, players play as the owners of emerging train delivery companies, striving to build a vast infrastructure of railways to connect the booming industry of the country with the sprawling cities – and earn some profit while at it!
To expand their railway network, players will construct tracks on the board each turn. Once a player has connected a factory with a city, they can deliver a good from that factory to the city, by placing a train meeple on the city, and playing a train card. Depending on the length of the track, the player will earn Money and Prestige.
Additionally, players will race to complete achievements to earn some well deserved extra Prestige!
Finally, at the end of the game, the player with the most prestige wins!
1-4 Players, 13+ Ages, 30-60 min.

HOW TO PLAY
Each turn you will construct 2 tracks on the board, thus expanding your railroad network.
Depending over what kind of terrain you will construct your tracks on, you will be required to pay different amount of Money.
When you connect a factory with a city, you can make a delivery if the factory produces a good that the connected city demands.
To make a delivery, place a Train Meeple in the city where you make the delivery. You will then earn Profit and Prestige, according to how long your track is.
The longer the track, the more Profits and Prestige you will receive once you make the delivery!
Additionally, you must also play a train card from your hand. If you have fulfilled the card’s condition, you can earn extra Prestige.
Finally, if you are eligible to complete an Achievement, you can do so before your opponents claim the 1st place of an Achievement Card and score extra Prestige!
Solo mode
Play solo against the Great Steam Conglomerate and try to take your railroad empire to the top! The AI in the solo mode uses their own cards which will determine where they will build their tracks and which cities they will like connected.
Scenario map Gameplay
The scenario packs offer even more thematic gameplay – Depending on which map you are playing, you will have additional new achievements, which are map specific!
