From the publisher: This extension to Snowdonia contains 99 cards on which a total of four scenarios can be found: Jungfrau Railway Bavarian Zugspitze Railway Mt Washington Britannia Bridge --- From the publisher: Diese Erweiterung zu Snowdonia enthält 99 Karten, auf denen insgesamt 4 Szenarien zu finden sind: Jungfraubahn Bayerische Zugspitzbahn Mt. Washington Britannia Bridge --- This German expansion pack for Snowdonia by Lookout Games came without a box and without a rulebook. It is given out in three shrink-wrapped card packages with 33 cards each. Snowdonia: Bayerische Zugspitzbahn 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. Snowdonia: Britannia Bridge includes a trio of tweaked contract cards and a new engine – The Dawn Raider – that allows its owner to build track instead of the game (if he wants) whenever the game would build track due to an event. Snowdonia: Jungfraubahn & Mount Washington has new mechanisms for the use of dynamite, new weather (snow), and new trains combine to provide a different playing experience. Jungfraubahn is a scenario for up to four players, with the yellow fifth player pieces being used as dynamite; the Mount Washington scenario handles up to five players with a new take on the "Surveyor". It is comprised of a rulebook and a single deck of 66 cards containing: New copies/versions of standard Snowdonia Contract Cards Alternative versions of Contract cards for the Jungfraubahn scenario Alternative versions of Contract cards for the Mount Washington scenario Four new Trains (including Old Peppersass) Special Jungfrau Track cards

The catalogue lists Snowdonia: Erweiterung for ages 10 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.
