Snowdonia
Build a railway up Snowdon while the Welsh weather has other ideas.
What it is
Tony Boydell's worker placement game about construction managers building a line up Snowdon in Wales. You clear rubble, lay track and raise stations, while the game itself quietly gets on with the job too. Weather changes how much each action yields, and fog can stop building dead. A good fit for train fans who enjoy a little British drizzle.
What we love
- Random events build track on their own, so the clock runs whether you are ready or not.
- Six trains each have a power, and building one gets you a third worker if you pay coal.
- Special cards can pay out at the end if you meet their requirements, played or not.
Honest trade-offs
- Weather and event timing bring randomness that can undo a plan.
- The game ends when track reaches the last station, so length varies.
