About the game
A new advanced scenario for Snowdonia based on the Bavarian Zugspitze railway built up the highest mountain in Germany (it is also one of only four rack railways still working in the country). Designed as part of an ongoing Blog exercise, the scenario is being distributed - initially - in print & play form for playtesting & polishing (again part of the Blog). The scenario further develops the importance of the Surveyor for work (building, excavating and track laying), uses a more benevolent version of Snow as weather and even has a Cable Car to get to the Zugspitze Summit. PLEASE NOTE: This is now available in 'officially published' form but only in German as part of the Lookout Games Snowdonia: Erweiterung.
