Players operate railway companies in western Germany, investing in stock, buying private companies, laying track and running trains to generate revenue. The map emphasizes crossing the Rhine and operating key express services, with strategic choices about route development and company management determining profitability. Different scenarios use distinct maps and private-company portfolios to change strategic priorities and player interaction. Games support three to five players (with variants for two players and a short game), and typical full sessions last several hours while a short variant provides a one-hour option.
