Just started playing this on Board Game Arena and I absolutely love it. Will definitely be picking up the Ultimate Railroads compilation at some point.
Came here as the publisher announced a big box coming Q3 this year "Ultimate Railroads". This game has been on my wish list since quite a while now, but it wasn't available for reasonable prices. Great video, thanks!
Yea someone showed me a screen grab of that one. I love this game so much and I’m happy people who haven’t played it will get another opportunity to have a look 👍🏻
@@BoardGameBollocks ah ok. Thanks man. I'll take a look. On an unrelated note, thanks to your review of Concordia, we grabbed a copy today and just finished our first playthrough. Awesome game for sure!
Did you grab the Salsa expansion? We never play without it. There’s about 6 map packs for it as well many with their own rule variations. Well worth checking them out depending on your desired player count as some are better with more and some with less.
I've heard that the publisher Hans im Gluck is preparing a Russian Railroads big box edition with all the expansions so should be some news on that soon
Got the game recently as well, mostly because I found it in a store and knew it was hard to get. It hasn't hit the table yet, but I played it a few times online on BGA to learn it better and in every single game, the player who won was the one that managed to execute the 9 locomotive rush (via the bonus on the Parkersburg line). Not sure if the game is "broken", but that strategy does seem pretty OP and it hurt my general impression of the game. Could still be worth playing with less competitive people, just enjoying the math engine as it develops. Also, as a side-note, I think action drafting is a better term to describe this game than worker placement. Thanks for the video!
It’s been a grail game for me for a good while, just got a copy of Ultimate Railroads at a great price and we are loving it!
Probably wouldnt get printed today in its original form.

Nice video. For the rulebook... Don't forget Worker placement in 2010 needs more explanations than we used to now
Good point. But 2010 was the golden age of Feld so this rulebook seems a bit excessive for such a simple game.
@@BoardGameBollocks Only from a gamer's view.
Great review. Subscribed 🙂
Another fantastic and informative review mate. Thanks for this! Now...to hunt down a copy
You can get it on a polish site called allegro. There’s no English language option so it’s a bit or a mare to navigate. The app is your best bet.

@@BoardGameBollocks I had the Salsa in my hand but i wanted to make sure we liked the game first. I think i will pick it up today.
@@omnitheus5442 Gotcha we are not heavy gamers (yet) so it's tough to say.

Well that’s just great! We spent ages hunting this down. Typical 😂
I hope this is true!
Good video, maybe we can play on BGA and you can teach us! Glad you found a copy.
Yes we’ll give it a go time zones permitting.

That’s never happened to us although most of the bonuses are mega powerful.
Great review!
