So I have a few questions...

Is the 1 player option supposed to be the official solo mode or is it just there to help testing the game ?

Is there any plan to include draft mode, desert dice, canyon dice ?

And thanks !!

Railroad Ink Challenge (which includes Green and Yellow) has been in Alpha for some time now (three years since 2022?).

a. there appears to be a significant number of bugs still left unaddressed.
b. I just added to/augmented another bug as of yesterday.
c. there has been a lot of good work to get the working version to the present state - which appears to be very close to being done.
d. It took a long time just to get the game to load/start on BGA a while ago.
e. A lot of feedback in Alpha has been provided, and probably includes a significant amount of the present issues.
f. I suspect this does not fall into the very complicated game category regarding functionality and rules, comparatively across BGA.

Can we not get some dedicated developer cycles put on this one to take it to the FINISH LINE?

I feel it is very close to being ready for launch to the community. I feel it would be very popular and liked. It adds so much more variety to the already great games and expansions in Railroad Ink.
