Ben might be grumpy about things but I am very, VERY pleased with this. Oh, and you should see what we've got planned for the expansion(s)!!!

Description
The men who built the railways arrived with sound boots and got their shovels on credit; they were issued tickets, in payment for their work, which could be spent at the Tommy Shop or (more likely) on beer! As a ganger, or foreman, you are responsible for your own team of navvies as they travel through Mid and North Wales: digging the track beds, laying the rails, and occasionally helping a passenger or two along their way. Foothills lets you participate in grand-scale railway construction while paying attention to the small details; manage your navvies' work carefully, and you should be able to let them go to the pub at the end of the day.
Foothills is a tactical and intriguing two-player card game from new designer Ben Bateson and the designer of Snowdonia, Tony Boydell. Using your five action cards cleverly, collect resources, remove rubble, build track and stations, and use the action spaces you unlock, all the while collecting more victory points than your opponent. In the end, the player with the most victory points wins!

9.0/10
Satisfying two player game with good decision making in a short playing time. Nice production touches with the 3D railroad stops. Variable card set up provides decent replayability.
9.0/10
Phenomenal game. So meaty and full of great decisions and ever changing landscape thanks to the awesome way you discard your action cards for points.
9.0/10
This is an excellent 2 player game requiring a fair bit of brain power. Plays in under an hour (depending on chosen tracks and how you both play!) and rewards multiple play throughs. The game reveals it's complexities/subtleties slowly and after 3 or 4 play throughs I felt like I could now begin to achieve decent scores. Setup is fiddly but I like the variability, so I suppose that is the price to pay. Really hope the official solo rules get released for this soon and then expansions featuring more train lines would be great.
9.0/10
Great 2p game. Similar feeling to Snowdonia, but with a really smart mechanic of action selection. (with promo pink passenger meeple) (essen 2019)
