You are definitely a seasoned builder then! I'm gracious that you're giving it a go. :)
If you can handle Pax Pamir then I'd put money down that you can easily do well with what I've worked on over the years. :)
Welcome aboard! I agree that a setup diagram would help. I will put one together in the next few weeks. Life has been pretty hectic but I wanted to get the game released. In the meantime, I have a YouTube video playthrough on the solo game if you need it. :)
Rust & Revenue is definitely a step up in complexity. If you get hooked, then there is a whole world of gaming that opens up with the genre. Charters to me would be a slightly easier on ramp but the components are specialized enough that it would be a harder build to find parts for but an easier teach.
Regardless, thank you for the kind note! Let me know if you have any questions. :)
Demo today was great at Unplugged Gaming!
We had four games - a couple 3-player, one two-player and one solo teach. It is always inspiring to see your designs being explored by others real time. Everyone had a good time which is what it's all about. Two other tables out at that time were Brass Lancashire and Root so R&R was in good company.
Looking forward to the next demo scheduled in Syracuse on Sunday 10/19 at Play the Game Ready The Story at their North Clinton location. Hope to see some friendly faces and new players.
Happy railroading!


Hello! Reginald gets the bump as well.
I will have to add it to the FAQ before I do another modest rulebook post. The game page at BGG has some rule threads as well and I tried putting more of a living thread there as well.
Official FAQ thread

If you happen to play, house rules might be needed when hooking into the main prebuilt track. In theory on this map, 2, 4 and 5 might be able to get in there. If there are ties for anything, apply company numeric order.
Otherwise, the companies start up and build like they do in the base game. If Xavier or Reginald started company #1, they would build to the city off their prebuilt spur toward the middle of the map.
I plan on playing this one this week.
