DESCRIPTION

Do you have what it takes to become a Railroad Tycoon?

The year is 1830. The age of railroading has begun, and you are the head of one of the first fledgling railroad companies. The cities team with potential passengers, the countryside of a young nation gives birth to a bountiful harvest, and countless new factories bulge with finished goods! The potential profits are huge, but who will get there first? The competition will be fierce, and only the best railroads will prosper. You will decide the best routes and build the track. You will run the railroad and deliver the goods, thus capturing that share of the market for your railroad. And as your network of rails expands across the countryside, you will invest in newer, better locomotives to deliver the goods faster and farther. You call the shots. You are the Railroad Tycoon!

Railroad Tycoon with its massive board and beautiful components is a streamlined version of the critically acclaimed Age of Steam by Martin Wallace. Railroad Tycoon is a game that reaches both to strategic gamers due to the vast amount of tactics involved and to folks who simply want a fun, social time.
