Der Taubertal-Express: Würfelpioniere is an expansion for Der Taubertal-Express released in 2023 for 2–4 players, 60–90 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Christoph Kraus and its main mechanics are Movement Points.
With the new expansion Dice Pioneers, new dynamics come into play. With each turn the players decide whether they want to take on the role of the train driver, station master, worker, builder or the passenger. If they don't like the associated actions, they decide on three action stones - but this tends to reduce the advantage and is therefore something to avoid. —description from the designer
