Transcontinental
A two-player card game about building the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s. One player represents the Union Pacific Railroad and the other the Central Pacific Railroad. Players draw from a shared deck featuring suits for jobs, money, supplies, and other aspects of railroad construction, along with a difficulty suit. They form melds of cards in the same suit, matching ranks, or sequential ranks to gain Railroad Markers. The first player to collect 100 Markers completes their line to Promontory Summit.
