Rail Baron
Build an American transcontinental rail network. Move trains along historical U.S. railroad lines, collect payments for deliveries between cities, and use the proceeds to purchase railroads. Expand a network that reaches important destinations while restricting opponents’ access and collecting track rentals when they travel across owned lines. The game continues as fortunes rise and fall until one player reaches the required wealth or the others go bankrupt.
