Praise for Rollway Station
"A constant and delicate push and pull with every roll of the dice." - Norm, Always Player One

"A fun spatial route building game with more thinking than just the route building" - Ambie, Board Game Blitz

"That does look like the kind of roll & write game that Ambie would enjoy" - Tom Vasel, The Dice Tower

Rollway Station 2 is a free print and play train game inspired by the 18xx series of games. You take on the role of an investor in various train companies trying to make the most money over fifteen turns. You'll roll dice and assign them to three different actions as you invest in companies, auction off trains, and build track to develop your train network, all very familiar to those who have played the first game. But this time there's a twist! You're competing with a Rival who will also buy shares, make investments and generally be a nuisance. No longer are you competing with yourself for the highest score, but also with a win condition. Can you earn more points than the Rival?

Each turn of Rollway Station 2, you roll 6 dice. You must then assign these dice to three different actions: buying a share in a company, laying track, and bidding on a train. The values of the dice determine the specific effect of each action, and you'll rarely get everything you want. After you've taken your turn, there will be one die left over which is used by the Rival, who will either compete with you for shares in valuable companies, or make their own investments in private companies. Every few rounds, all the trains run and you score points based on how good their routes are, but so does the Rival. No experience of Rollway Station is required to play and enjoy this game, it's totally standalone.

What's included in the game?
