Railroad Tiles Countryside (Exp.) (engl.) Railroad Tiles Countryside expands the base game with challenging new tiles featuring Farms, Villages, and Pastures. Players must carefully place Animal pawns in fields while avoiding duplicates to maximize points. Strategic placement of routes, towns, and fences is key to success. Includes new Objective tiles for added depth and complexity.

Despite its charming appearance, Railroad Tiles Countryside is one of the most challenging expansions. Your objective is to create large Pastures filled with various Farms, while ensuring that each Pasture contains only one Animal of each type to avoid losing points.

Unlike other expansions, the Animal pawns in Countryside are linked to a specific column of tiles drawn from the central board during the draft phase at the start of each round. Instead of placing animals on routes like cars, trains, or travelers, they must be placed in the “fields” surrounding these routes. Fields connected to each other form a Pasture, which is separated from others by highways, railways, towns, and fences marked on the Countryside tiles.

Animals must be placed on one of the tiles you add during the current round; free placement anywhere on the board is not allowed. Farms appear on some tiles and act as multipliers for endgame scoring: for each Pasture, every Animal scores one point per Farm within that Pasture. However, if a Pasture contains more than one animal of the same type (cow, pig, or sheep), each additional duplicate must be removed, and one point is discarded for each removed animal.

Village tiles also feature in this expansion. They can join Town tiles to form a City but, unlike Towns, Villages do not divide Pastures.

The challenge lies in strategically placing routes, towns, and fences to keep animals of the same type separated, thereby preventing loss of animals and points. This requires careful planning and foresight.

Like other expansions, Countryside includes Objective tiles—for instance, the Vineyard requires a connected area of at least five Field tiles with no Animals, while the Hills must be surrounded by at least three Animals.
