About Railroad Ink Challenge
In Railroad Ink Challenge, you have 7 rounds to make as many points as possible. Roll the dice and draw the routes to connect the exits around your board. Expand your network with railways, highways, and stations to collect points, but you will be penalized for any open connections, so plan carefully! Play solo to improve your best score, or challenge players from all over the world!
Each round you will have to roll the dice and use the available routes to build your transportation network and connect as many exits as possible. Expand your network to collect points. You’ll also score bonus points for your longest highway and railway, for building into the central spaces of your map, and for completing optional, time-dependent goals before they expire.
You can also connect special structures to your network to trigger their special effects, such as duplicating routes, unlocking powerful special routes, and more. But beware: Try to not leave any open connections, as each one will cost you points at the end of the game.
The Forest and Desert expansions add special dice and rules to create even more intricate landscapes for your highways and railways.
Play solo with random objectives and join the online rankings or challenge players from all over the world with custom game configurations! The online leaderboards (Daily, Monthly, and All-Time) are completely cross-platform! *
Don’t like to wait while your opponents complete their turn? Fear not! With the 100% asynchronous multiplayer challenges, that is an issue of the past! Play a full game on your own, then post the challenge online! Players from all over the world will be able to play with the same dice and goals you had and try to beat your score! Who’s gonna get the best score?*
Railroad Ink Challenge is the official adaptation of the critically acclaimed roll and write game created by award-winning designers Hjalmar Hach & Lorenzo Silva and illustrated by artist Marta Tranquilli.

My girlfriend and I really bonded over this.
Good, relaxing, light game
I first met this game as the physical version, with the dice and wipe-clean boards. This digital version is faithful to the original, and I like the addition of the daily challenges. The leaderboards encourage replay as well, so you can (hopefully) see your score improve against everyone else's. A lot of recent reviews seem to mention server issues, resulting in the daily challenges being absent. I haven't seen this issue - the game has been completely reliable for me to date. It would be lovely to see some of the other expansions (as well as the desert & forest ones currently included) added to the game, too.
What an awesome game, what terrible support. If you want to play a nice puzzle game: This one's for you. It's easy to learn, hard to master, with a nice learning curve. If you're into Steam Achievements -- hands-off! Multiplayer is impossible (and poorly implemented) so you can never get all achievements.
Animations between turns shows Coupling Rods on not only the Locomotive, but also the trailing cars, which is not correct. UNPLAYABLE
Good and adiction game.
