Description

Build the most prestigious railroad empire in this pickup-and-deliver, route-building and set collection board game for 1-4 players!

In this game, players play as the owners of emerging train delivery companies, striving to build a vast infrastructure of railways to connect the blooming industry of the country with sprawling cities - and earn some profit while at it!

To expand their railway network, players will construct tracks on the board each turn. Once a player has connected a factory with a city, they can deliver a good from that factory to the city, by placing a train meeple on the city, and playing a train card. Depending on the length of the track, the player will earn Money and Prestige.

Additionally, players will race to complete achievements to earn some well-deserved extra Prestige! At the end of the game, the plyer with the most prestige wins!
