The peaks of Snowdonia rise before you, encased in mist, their summits barely visible. The highest is Snowdon (Wyddfa) herself at 1,085 metres. The year is 1894, and the Snowdon Mountain Tramroad and Hotels Company Limited has been formed to build a branch line from Llanberis to the summit. You can scarcely believe it's possible!
In Snowdonia players represent work gangs providing labour for the construction of the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Unlike other train games you will have to excavate your way up a mountain side, as well as make and lay the track, construct viaducts and stations. All this in competition with the weather of the Welsh mountains (and the game itself)!
You may be assisted by a train (though that's not always best) and you'll be able to collect essential materials from the Stock Yard. You will obtain special work contracts that give you bonuses.
Can you contribute more than the other players to the magnificence of the Snowdon Mountain Railway?

"Playing Snowdonia again after many months (with many other games in between) was just as enjoyable as it was the first few times I played it." [SGOYT]
"A relatively quick playing euro with a simple and smooth flow to the gameplay that relaxes me (despite the adverse weather conditions) and can still tell a story if you look hard." [SGOYT]
"Clear the rubble, lay your track, and score your points. Excellent solo experience with interesting choices on every turn, but never makes your brain ache." [SGOYT]
"A terrific game to solo with loads of variability and cube pushing goodness - just make sure you use the solo rules reference from the file pages." [SGOYT]
