Roads & Boats: 20th Anniversary Edition

Players manage a small, shared-resource economy across a changing map, focusing on transport and logistics rather than warfare or territory control. Each player starts with basic workers, materials and animals, then builds infrastructure such as roads, boats, workshops, mines and marketplaces to move goods and unlock production. Buildings and improvements are not owned by a single player; pieces on the map can be used by anyone, so planning efficient transport networks and timing actions matters. The included expansion adds new buildings, goods, terrain types, transport options, alternative victory conditions, 24 additional scenarios, and components for five- and six-player games.
