Railroad Ink: Blazing Red Edition

Yes — when drawing Routes you can freely rotate and/or reverse the pattern shown on the die before placing it on your board (rulebook, p.5).

You must draw all 4 Routes shown on the dice each round if you can, but if a Route can’t be connected you simply can’t draw it (rulebook, p.5).

You may draw one Special Route per round in addition to the dice, each Special Route can be used only once per game, and you may use at most 3 Special Routes in the whole game — mark them off when used (rulebook, p.6).

No — Overpasses let a Highway and Railway cross without connecting them, whereas Stations allow you to connect Railway Routes to Highway Routes (rulebook, pp.4 and 8).

Each open end of a Route that does not connect to another Route or the outer edge is an Error (marked ⊗), costing −1 point per Error; ties are broken by fewest Errors (rulebook, p.7).

Longest Highway (and Longest Railway) is the longest unbroken chain of adjacent Highway (or Railway) spaces and scores 1 point per space for the single longest branch; Stations do not interrupt Highways (rulebook, p.9).
