I think it’s fair to say I like roll/flip and writes.

After all I have one or two in my collection.

However there is one that has been on my wish list for a while, and instead of purchasing a physical copy I bought the digital version.

That game being Railroad Ink.

Having played the app version of Railroad Ink I will never purchase the physical version! That’s despite loving the game.

I admit that I’m going to miss that physicality and joy of rolling dice. However I can see I won’t miss drawing the different train tracks on the pad.

I’ve only played the app as a solo game.

I’ve not played it online against others, or even taken part in the daily challenges against others scores. At the moment I have no interest in doing so either.

My actual games have been on my iPad and iPhone. And it looks and plays brilliantly on both.

For me this is a great game to play when I have a spare five minutes to pass away. Although that five minutes somehow turns into much longer.

This app version of the game does have that “just one more game” magic baked into it. I think the fact games are so quick helps a lot. Along with the “I know I can beat that score” pushing you to try again.

I love the aesthetics of app. The pastels and “hand” drawn look. Obviously the art is way way better than anything I can draw in real life.

The Railroad Ink app is fastly becoming one of my favourite iOS ports of a physical board game.
