Game Board
The setting for Railways of Great Britain is the map of Great Britain in the mid 19th century.
Map Note: Players may not build across the black line between Hull, Grimsby and Goole. This represents the Humber, a large tidal estuary that wasn't bridged until 1981 by what was the longest suspension bridge in the world at that time.
Railroad Operations Cards
[The printed page shows images of the new Tunnel Engineer and Railway Inspector cards with the expansion's card back. The card rules are given below.]
Game Play
New Operations Cards
Passenger Line – The first player to deliver 4 of the 5 goods colors earns this card and the bonus points.
To keep track, players place goods cubes in front of them (1 of each color as the player makes a delivery) until a player delivers a fourth color and then all cubes that were in front of all players are returned to the goods bag.
Tunnel Engineer – When a player chooses this card, they may use the card during one future build and all mountains and ridges are half price for that build ($2000 each).
Railway Inspector – When a player chooses this card, it goes into his hand and is played during another player's delivery action. The Railway Inspector prevents the delivery and the player attempting to make the delivery loses that action. The cube that was to be delivered remains in the original city. An Inspector may not stop any player more than once per game.
A player who has been stopped by a Railway Inspector should display this card face up and upside down.
