In 2013 the strategy game RUSSIAN RAILROADS conquered the hearts of "hardcore" gamers and railway enthusiasts alike. It's a game that challenges. Just playing without a strategy and betting on luck won't work here - at least not for those who play for victory!
In 2014 it won the German Game Prize (Deutscher Spiele Preis) and, increasingly, excited fans all over the world. The extensions GERMAN RAILROADS and COAL (2015) were released, followed by AMERICAN RAILROADS (2016), as well as some mini-expansions. Almost all copies were soon sold out. In order to answer players from around the world's calls for a new edition, everything was remade by Hans Im Glück! Okay, maybe not everything - the game is still the same. In addition to a few adjustments, the "jewel" of this long development is a new, really big expansion: ASIAN RAILROADS.
Since many adjustments were only possible with a revision of the entire layout, the opportunity to offer added value to long-time fans was taken as well. Everything is designed in a modular way, and for the first time you can freely combine all of the elements with one another. This strategic treat, as a result of being big and extensive, had to be renamed: ULTIMATE RAILROADS!
Let the boilers and your heads smoke, but be careful- this game is not for beginners!
For now the BGA adaptation is missing the German and American railroads... but they will pull into our station sooner or later.

Kudos to Victoria_La for the whole game development, the game is beautifully ported to BGA and works perfectly on most devices.
Of course, nothing would have been possible without the authorization of the wonderful Hans Im Glück and the game designers,
Helmut Ohley and Leonhard "Lonny" Orgler. We would like to thank all of them for choo-choosing Board Game Arena to port this wonderful game.
Now is your time to shine on the railroad. Full steam ahead!
Take care and play well!
