About this game
Build the railway up Mount Snowdon in a worker-placement game where the weather fights back. Snowdonia features a dynamic weather system that can clear rubble automatically or dump fog that slows construction. Workers excavate, lay track, and build stations, but the weather deck creates genuine uncertainty about how much work gets done each round. The tight action selection and weather variability make every game feel different. A train game where nature is the real opponent.
