Empire Builder
Players build a transcontinental railroad network on a North American map by drawing track and operating trains. Each turn has an operations phase to move trains, pick up commodities at source cities, and deliver them to destinations listed on demand cards for cash payouts, with event cards occasionally altering play. In the building phase players spend earnings to lay additional track or upgrade trains to reach farther or carry more. The game revolves around planning efficient routes, fulfilling multiple demand cards, and expanding the rail network to connect major cities while accumulating wealth.

Tom5.9 As enjoyable as the others in the series, especially since it's in my home country.
Uno de los mejores juegos de esta serie. El desarrollo es el de un múltiple solitario, cada jugador juega en su caja de arena y no interactua con los demás. El resultado aunque el juego esta bien se hace un poco largo y tedioso hacia la parte final. Con 2 jugadores está muy entretenido, con mas jugadores puede suponer un tedio y un tostón.
