Transportation

Since 2022, Railways of Sweden has captivated fans of tile placement and auction with its medium complexity design.

How It Plays

Action Points

You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.

Auction / Bidding

Players bid against each other for cards, tiles, or resources — knowing when to go big and when to fold is the key.

Connections

Building links between elements on the board rewards you — the more connected things are, the better.

Network and Route Building

You connect locations to form networks — the bigger and smarter your network, the more points you earn.

Pick-up and Deliver

You pick up goods from one location and deliver them to another for rewards — efficient routes mean big payoffs.

Tile Placement

You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.

Turn Order: Auction

Players bid for the right to go first — sometimes that early position is worth paying extra for.
