5-Player Game Setup

To set up a 5-player game of Railroad Tiles, follow the changes to the regular setup procedure described below.

  1. Add all additional pawns to the respective pools of pawns. You don't need to separate them afterwards to play 1–4-player games.
  2. Add all additional Route tiles and Objective tiles to the respective sets. These are marked with a V icon in the top left corner. If you want to remove them when playing 1–4-player games, you may, but it is not necessary to do so.
  3. When placing the Station board in the middle of the table in step 2 of the regular setup procedure, use the 5-player Station board piece instead of the regular left piece of the Station board. This includes a 5th space in the Turn Order Area as well as an additional column to place tiles in at the beginning of each round.
  4. When taking Star pawns in step 8 of the regular setup procedure, each player takes 2 Star pawns instead of 1.
  5. During Round Setup, reveal Route tiles from the cloth bag until you fill all the columns below the 5-player Station board.

Expansion Tile Mix

If you are playing with an expansion, follow the special mix of tiles from the Core Game bag and the Expansion bag shown below. Each column is listed from top to bottom.

ColumnTiles (top to bottom)
1CORE, EXP
2CORE, EXP
3CORE, CORE, EXP
4CORE, CORE, EXP
5CORE, EXP, EXP
6CORE, CORE, CORE, EXP

In all cases, each column must contain as many tiles as the number of square icons at the top of that column, as usual.
