Snowdonia

Jungfraubahn & Mount Washington

 

Mount Snowdon in Wales: We are entrepreneurs building Snowdon Mountain Railways. The track must be freed of detritus, you produce and lay track, build viaducts and stations and fight the quirks of Welsh weather. You repeat rounds of: place workers - actions like storage, rooms, workshop, place track, build, constructor’s office and move surveyor - complete order card - update weather forecast - replenish storage, until the end of the game is triggered by placing track on the last track card. You score for possession markers, applicable bonuses, engine #4 and surveyor.

The new expansion of Snodownia: Jungfraubahn & Mount Washington features new mechanisms for the use of dynamite, Snow as a new weather feature and new trains. 27 new Contracts cards in the expansion replace those of the core game.

The Jungfraubahn scenario is intended for 1-4 players, the cubes for the 5th player- yellow - are used for the new resource dynamite. The new weather Snow replaces Fog, dynamite modifies excavations, and the surveyor is negative at the bottom of the mountain. There are also new track cards.

The Mount Washington scenario for 1-5 players does not feature movement for the surveyors, they slide down the mountain at the end of the game and stop when they reach a station that does not hold at least one cube of their owners, the yield the victory points in that station for their owners. Snow and dynamite are featured as in the Jungfraubahn scenario.

Interesting new mechanisms, both Snow and Dynamite cause the biggest changes in comparison to the core game.
