Catalogue information
The players follow in the footsteps of the railway barons of the English industrial revolution. They decide how the railway network of historical companies will be constructed, where stations will be located and which goods will be transported. As an investor you enforce mergers, with which you naturally benefit your financial advantage and with which you mislead other players. This game revives an exciting era: that of the British industrial revolution. In this game, seven railways have to be built. The game board represents England with 12 major cities and 16 station cities. The players have to connect those cities with train lines. Each time someone has a turn, a choice must be made from two of the following three possibilities: take a city tile, place a station or place a railway line and receive a share. Each time a railway line connects two cities, the players receive income. You also earn extra money when railways merge. As soon as the last railway tile has been placed or there is only one railway line left (through mergers) the game ends. Everyone who owns a majority in shares, goods or stations now receives an income. Whoever could make the most money wins the game. This game has received multiple awards.
