Licryle:

== Components ==

* 6 colours of locomotives.
* Each colour represents a different railway company.
* Each player is dealt a set supply of 5-10 locomotives, depending on the number of players:
:{|class="wikitable" style="width:auto; text-align:center;"
|+Locomotives supply
|3 players
|'''10''' locomotives
|-
|4 players
|'''8''' locomotives
|-
|5 players
|'''6''' locomotives
|-
|6 players
|'''5''' locomotives
|}

* These locomotives represent the player's stock portfolio and are hidden behind their player screen.
* The rest of the locomotives are placed on the ''storing boards'' of respective colours.

== Player turn ==

* Each turn the active player must either '''[[#Build_Track|Build Track]]''' or '''[[#Trade|Trade]]''':

=== Build Track ===

* The active player takes 1 to 5 locomotives from any one locomotive storing board, and places them on the map.
* Placement must follow these rules:
** A new locomotive must be placed adjacent to an already placed locomotive of the same colour.
** Hexes separated by red/white checkered lines on the board are not considered adjacent and cannot be crossed.
** Two locomotives of the same colour cannot share the same hex.
** A rural hex may contain 2 locomotives of different colours, whilst city hexes may only contain a single locomotive.
** The Eiffel tower hex cannot be occupied.
** A locomotive cannot be placed in such a way that it would completely "cut off" another colour, unless that colour has already reached at least one city.
* When each locomotive is placed, it may be worth points for that company:

|Rural hex
|-
|1 point
|Beige city
|-
|2 points
|Purple city
|-
|3 points
|Red city
|-
|4 points
|Blue city (Marseille)
|}
* The value of each company is immediately updated with these points when a train is placed.

=== Trade ===

* The active player returns 1 locomotive of one company to a storing board, '''then''' receives 1 or 2 locomotives of an another company to put behind their player screen.
* The returned locomotive(s) must be from '''a different''' storing board (company).
* Locomotives taken and placed behind a player screen represent shares in a company.
* Depending on the number of players, a player may only have a certain maximum of locomotives.
* A player is not prevented from taking more, but this will result in a '''[[#End_Game_Scoring|scoring penalty]]''' at the end of the game.

|'''15''' locomotives

== End of Game ==

* The game ends '''immediately''' when:
** There are locomotives on only '''one''' of the storing boards
*:OR
** A locomotive has been placed in '''Marseille'''

== End Game Scoring ==

* Players score Victory Points by multiplying their shares in a company by the value of the company.
** This is done for each railway company (colour), and these are then totalled together.
* Any player with more than the maximum number of locomotives also subtracts '''20 VP''' for each extra locomotive above this limit.
* The player with the most points is the winner.
* In case of a tie, there are several winners.

== Game preferences ==

* To make the game more accessible for colourblind players, you can enable the '''Colour Accessible''' option to add distinctive patterns to the trains.
