Railroad Ink Review - Board Game Therapy 

omg as someone who has played this game an hour a day everyday in lockdown i was SCREAMING

Yes! Go do it!

I've never heard this joke before ¬_¬

that first sentence is a roller coaster

The markers seem to be... markers.

No, Karuba slipped us by but I (Efka) have always been meaning to try it.

I'm not sure if you're right but I do wish you were.

It's one of those "only time will tell" situations, isn't it? Well, fudge. And here I thought we'll have the Universe solved before the afternoon's tea and biscuit. Pity. You gotta say, that would be NICE. The thing about R&W I've noticed is that we tend to call them "cute", "clever". As if that is a surprise that they can do that, almost as if we expected them not to be capable of such a feat - like a genius teenager doing his PhD ahead of the curve: he might be damn brilliant, but is still viewed as a "kid". We (the undefined conglomerate of "general public") don't view them as fully fleshed games, just a small "fix" of that thing that we do when we have more time. And I'm not saying that making a R&W play longer or being overly complex is the answer, it almost certainly isn't. But to make a R&W game that is a game of choice on a game night, main course created from multiple playthroughs on the same night, that is something I have yet to see. Maybe R&W is no good for that and I'm just rambling. But a strong "one more game" syndrome, sense of ownership they create and scalability they offer are not to be underestimated. These are also strong tools in bringing new people to the fold. Potential for great success is there, as always it's going to be all about execution of this pre-existing set of ideas. And that is a positive thought to go with. We might be too old for exploring space, but at least we live in the golden age of board games. We probably should take comfort in that. It's either that or a noose, right? It got morbid all of a sudden, my apologies. Both of you do great work on this channel. Despite the unfavorable YT algorithms that tend to make it feel as if all the efforts are comparable to pissing off a cliff on the windy day, rest assured, that your work doesn't go unnoticed, or unappreciated.

I don't know. I played On Tour recently, and I was quite impressed with how much depth there is to the puzzle and route-planning. It's an awesome game and well worth the look. :)

What a song, eh?

We did a review on it!

See, is 'tough' the best qualifier for this genre? I am not so sure.

Nice!

its gonna be stuck in my head all night I hope it was worth it
