Description

Rocca Rails(ロッカ・レイル)は六角形のカードゲーム。同じ色の線路をつなげていきます。列車を出したら、もう一回プレイ。トンネルと嵐はいつでも出せます。嵐で何が起きるかは、サイコロをふって決まります。 イラストは植田真さん。 札幌MY RAIL PROJECTとコラボレーションしたゲームです。

Rocca Rails is a hexagon-shaped card game designed to look like a cube. Connect same colored railways. If you draw a train card, you can play one more time. Tunnel cards and storm cards can be drawn anytime. Only a dice knows what will happen when a storm card is drawn.

On a player's turn, they can play a card that connects to a similar color rail card on the table. Alternatively, if they are not able or don't want to do that action, they may draw a card.

The first player to empty their hand of cards wins the game.
