We are proud and happy to introduce the excellent game Russian Railroads, from Helmut Ohley and Leonhard Orgler, published by Hans im Glück.
Russian Railroads is one of the best worker placement board game available, awarded multiple times (Deutscher Spiele Preis, Meeple's choice, International Gamers Award, ...), and is in the top 60 of the best games on boardgamegeek.com in all categories.
During each round of the game, you are using available actions on the central board to improve the railway network on your personal board. In particular, you try to make your tracks progress on the 3 railroads of your personal board: Trans-siberian (Vladivostok), Saint-Petersburg line, and Kiev line. You may also progress on the industry track (purple hexes at the bottom of your personal board). Then at the end of each round, you score a number of points which depends on the position of your tracks and industry marker.
The interesting twist is: your initial black tracks do not score many points, so you will want more powerful tracks (gray/brown/beige/white). However, on a given railroad you must always have your black tracks first, then your gray ones, they brown, and so on. Consequently, to transform your personal board into a powerful points engine, you will have to think smart and select your actions carefully, and of course guess the strategies of your opponents to block available actions that may help them. To win, you must also use the many special powers that are triggered by tracks when they reach certain positions on the railroads.
Oh, and by the way, the game is excellent with 2 players and can be really quick. You should definitly try it!
To learn every rules details about "RRR", you should watch this Radho Runs Through video.
Russian Railroads adaptation has been developed by Alena Laskavaia who already developed Nippon, Madeira and Dragon Line on BGA. In particular she implemented an excellent undo system that allows you to make sure you make no mistake during your actions. Congratulations for this impressive work!
BGA would like to address a special "thank you" to Hans im Glück for making this adaptation possible, and also to game designer Helmut Ohley for his help.
Enjoy!
俄罗斯铁路
我们非常自豪和高兴地引进俄罗斯铁路,由Helmut Ohley和Leonhard Orgler设计,由Hans im Glück出版的游戏。
俄罗斯铁路是目前能够玩到的最好的工人放置类桌面游戏之一,多次荣获国际大奖 (Deutscher Spiele Preis, Meeple's choice, International Gamers Award…),同时也在BGG最佳游戏中排名前60 。 在每一轮的游戏,你使用的中央版图中的可用操作来发展个人面板上的铁路网络。 特别地,你要跟踪个人面板上 三条铁路的进展︰ 西伯利亚线(海参崴)、 圣彼得斯堡线和基辅线。 你也可以推进工业轨道 (你个人的板底部的紫色六边形)。
在每个回合的结束,你获得你的轨道和工业标记位置对应的分数。 有趣的是︰ 最初的黑色铁路得分不多,所以你会想要更有力的轨道 (灰色/棕色/米色/白色)。 然而,在给定的铁路上你必须总是先有黑色,然后灰色,棕色,等等。 因此,要想将你的个人面板转化为一个得分“引擎”,你必须明智地选择你的行动,猜测你的对手的策略,阻止他们完成有利的行动。 为了获得胜利,你还必须使用许多轨道特定位置上的特权。
顺便说一句,这个游戏是极佳的二人游戏,并且十分轻快。
你真的应该试一试!
若要了解有关俄铁规则的详细信息,你应该看这个Radho Runs Through视频。 俄罗斯铁路由Alena Laskavaia开发。她已经在BGA开发了明治维新, 马德拉和龙道。 特别是她开发了优秀的取消系统,保证你在行动时不会犯错。 对这令人印象深刻的工作表示祝贺 !
BGA向Hans im Glück和游戏设计师Helmut Ohley致以最诚挚的感谢。
享受《俄罗斯铁路》吧 !
