{"product_id":"rivers-roads-rails","title":"Rivers, Roads \u0026 Rails","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis matching game is a close relative of Dominoes. Each tile has two sides, and each side contains at most one road, one river, and one rail. You can only play a new tile adjacent to a played tile if the sides match. The act of playing tiles creates a map of an intricate twisting transportation network. The tile illustrations are very pleasing to both young and old alike. Only two of the tiles are branching, so the game is mostly played at both ends of the tiles already laid down.\n\nSeveral variants are supplied in the rules. You can play this game competitively like Dominoes, or cooperatively like a free-form jigsaw puzzle.\n\nFirst published in 1969 by James Galt and Company, Limited, Cheadle\/Cheshire.\nThen in 1970 as 'Connect' (in Dutch, French and German as 'Contact') by Ravensburger.\nRe-released 1984 by Ravensburger as 'Rivers, Roads and Rails' (in Europe still as 'Contact').\nIsraeli edition called Squiggles © 1988 with less tiles and a solitaire rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.15 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ken Garland and Associates, Josef Löflath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"(Unknown)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924679786712,"sku":"SB-05C0C00B9D2F-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/ckdos8k7rmy890l0i6010jhwk0e6.jpg?v=1785455625","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/rivers-roads-rails","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
