England, 1960s. Revolutions in music, fashion, art and more draw celebrities from around the world. Superstars wind their way across the country using the ultimate in luxury travel, a train line catering to the elite, while less fortunate passengers jostle for space to get a glimpse of their idols. There’s no time to waste, so grab your bags and get on board!
The Royal Limited is a solo game about building your train and filling it up with passengers and VIPs before the train departs. Use cards from your hand to add new cars and place passengers to occupy them. Match symbols and colors to ensure everyone aboard is satisfied, especially the VIPs! Make the most of your line and see if you can live up to the grand expectations of The Royal Limited.
Murder on Board Expansion:
A stormy night. An isolated train traveling through the English countryside. It’s the perfect spot for a heinous crime. But the killer didn’t account for a renowned detective on board…
This 3-card expansion for The Royal Limited adds Detective, Victim, and Murderer cards along with some gameplay changes.
What would a train be without a little murder mystery? In this 3-card expansion, you must find the victim and catch the killer before time runs out or lose the game.
The player’s goal is to, by the end of the game, have the detective find the victim and arrest the murderer. To do this, they will move the detective along the train and land on spaces with the assigned VIP.
In addition to the normal scoring, both the victim and murderer cards must be flipped to green, or else you lose.
Second Line Expansion:
Business is booming! Running two lines on parallel tracks allows for maximum profits, as long as there are enough passengers.
Second Line is a 4-card expansion for The Royal Limited that introduces additional train cards in a new color and allows players to operate a second train below their first line.
To play with the Second Line expansion, shuffle all train cards together to begin. Draw one additional card each turn and place cards into either row following the normal rules. Beware: the new grey train cars can only accept passengers that match the number (as well as VIPs). Keep your trains close in length, as you’ll lose automatically if one is too far behind when the game ends.
