Rocca Rails(ロッカ・レイル)は六角形のカードゲーム。同じ色の線路をつなげていきます。列車を出したら、もう一回プレイ。トンネルと嵐はいつでも出せます。嵐で何が起きるかは、サイコロをふって決まります。 イラストは植田真さん。 札幌MY RAIL PROJECTとコラボレーションしたゲームです。 Rocca Rails is a hexagon-shaped card game designed to look like a cube. Connect same colored railways. If you draw a train card, you can play one more time. Tunnel cards and storm cards can be drawn anytime. Only a dice knows what will happen when a storm card is drawn. On a player's turn, they can play a card that connects to a similar color rail card on the table. Alternatively, if they are not able or don't want to do that action, they may draw a card. The first player to empty their hand of cards wins the game.
Rocca Rails supports 2–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Rocca Rails is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Rocca Rails for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Rocca Rails has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
