The challenges add the perfect little wrinkle of strategy for those who find the vanilla setup doesn’t make their inner civil engineer sweat enough. Scoring takes into account length, number of connected stops and a bevy of other metrics, but you lose points for orphaned paths and dead ends. Otherwise, the experience remains largely the same: players roll a shared set of dice and must use the results to gradually construct a network of rails and roads across a 7x7 grid. Railroad Ink: Challenge differs from its standard fare sibling by adding optional objective cards and a few special squares on the dry erase grid board.

I managed to play both versions, rolling and writing with the base version of Verdant Green and the full scope of Shining Yellow. I feel fairly spoiled that Railroad Ink: Challenge was among one of the very first roll & write board games put in front of me because that collection of coloured dice and dry erase markers set a lofty goal for any other title hoping to steal the crown. I’m sure that our confidence and luck will run out soon though, as is the way with Gloomhaven - losing is about as much a part of the experience as winning is. Our last scenario was especially excellent, with the boss’s dreaded ability to end the scenario if it ever reaches full health never even appearing to be a possibility. Knowing what Gloomhaven digital has put me through, I won’t be surprised if we quickly find ourselves in the deep end.įor now, watching our plans play out, mostly, how we’ve wanted them to has never not been satisfying. I’ll be interested to see how far this ramps up now that we’ve completed the beginning stages of the game. Wheels and Lolies play Gloomhaven Digital.ĭespite being part of the tutorial, we’ve definitely still felt challenged by a couple of the scenarios, which is a testament to the series’ devotion to difficulty. Each tutorial has walked us through the game’s various concepts mostly well, though there are still those moments where we’re not quite sure what to do. So far, the Jaws of the Lion has provided an excellent learning experience for my friends - who are very much beginners to Gloomhaven. We’ve just completed the last of the tutorial scenarios, which also conveniently brings the current story-arc to a semi-conclusion. Myself and my friends are currently playing the physical version of the game, which continues to be an absolute joy to set up and put away thanks to the fact that it uses a scenario book instead of a board or tiles. I talked about my Gloomhaven Digital campaign last week, but this week we’re discussing my Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion playthrough.

Whilst I’ve been continuing my foray into spin-off title Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, Chase has been going places in Railroad Ink: Challenge, Wheels has been trekking across the marshes of an Arthurian wild west in Inevitable: The Doomed Arthurian Western RPG and Matt has been commanding armies in historical wargame Sekigahara: The Unification of Japan. This week, we’ve been playing a smorgasbord of tabletop titles - from digital board games to tabletop roleplaying games to epic historical strategy games.

This is a weekly series wherein we talk about the various tabletop games we’ve recently been dabbling in, possibly to inspire readers wondering what to put on their ‘to play’ pile. As we head into the first of several May bank holiday weekends here in the UK, the Dicebreaker team has another edition of what we’ve been playing to share.
