In Pioneer Rails, you represent a railroad owner who has seen an opportunity to expand your empire across the new lands of the frontier. You'll compete against other railroad owners to plan your railway in the best way possible to connect establishments to the railroad and satisfy the demands of the locals.
Dual use cards
In this flip-and-write game, you use poker cards to extend your railway tracks and build a poker hand at the same time. Each turn, you choose one of the revealed poker cards. The suit of the card helps you extend your railway, connecting you to new towns and surrounding features. The value of the card is added to your poker hand, for which you'll score additional points at the end of the round.
Connect the frontier
When you connect to a town, you gain the ability to do a one-time bonus. When you surround a feature with your tracks, you activate it for endgame scoring. Some features even give you a special ability that breaks the normal rules of the game!
Achieve your goals
Three common goals are in play each game, giving you incentives to build in different directions. If you achieve them first, you'll score more points, and also deny the higher points for your competitors.
