About the game
This expansion is compatible with all previous editions of Snowdonia. Snowdonia: Grand Tour takes players on a railway building adventure around the world. This is the biggest Snowdonia expansion yet, featuring 12 lovingly crafted scenarios and an all-new campaign mode. Scenarios Every scenario in Grand Tour comes with its own bespoke, immersive board. These scenarios use their boards to explore new elements of the design and offer more adventurous experiences than Snowdonia’s previous instalments. Scenarios Included: - Demerara-Berbice - Uganda Railway - Isle of Wight - Trans-Australian Railway (Updated for the new board system) - Qinghai Tibet (Updated for the new board system) - Darjeeling and Himalayan Railway (A reworked and expanded version of Alubari) - Liverpool Overhead Railway - Florida Overseas Railroad - Cleobury Mortimer - Tokyo Metro - La Belle Epoque - A mystery scenario not yet revealed to the public. Campaign Mode Each player takes on the role of a famous figure from railway history, competing over 4 scenarios to determine who runs the best railway construction company. Players’ characters are represented by a 10-card deck they can use to enhance their actions. Between games, players can upgrade their decks and potentially collect that scenario’s unique souvenir. It is compatible with every previously released scenario and comes with a unique souvenir card for each of them. Campaign mode also has a dedicated solo mode in which the automa gains strength as the player does.

The listed playing time for Snowdonia: Grand Tour is 45–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Snowdonia: Grand Tour for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
