SteamRollers

Everybody builds a railway empire on their own sheet, and the dice decide how fast. Each round a handful of dice are rolled and you take turns drafting one, then spend it: draw a stretch of track on your personal board, upgrade your engine, deliver a cube from the shared supply board along your network, or grab a special card that bends the rules a little. Deliveries need a strong enough engine, so you have to balance track against power. Once half the cities on the supply board are emptied, the round finishes the game, and you add up deliveries plus bonuses for network, engine and cards. It is a roll-and-write style race, with a take-that edge, for up to five players or on your own.
