What is Pencil Express: Yugoslavia
Pencil Express is a route-building and drawing game set in 1960s Yugoslavia, during a time of ambitious railway modernization and expansion. Taking up the roles of engineers, the Players compete to design the most efficient and well-connected railway network across the country.
Each turn, players choose whether to play route cards to pursue long-distance connections, or to place track cards that shape the central rail layout and determine which rail patterns must be drawn. As the network grows, players draw rail shapes on their personal maps, striving to connect towns, cities, capitals, and border crossings. Strategic planning, spatial optimization, and careful use of limited bonus actions are key to building the most successful network.
