Description
In 1870: Railroading across the Trans Mississippi from 1870, players take on the challenge of building railroad empires across a map of the central United States. This game is all about making smart investments and strategic decisions to come out on top. With a unique hexagonal grid system and track tiles, players buy and sell stock in various rail companies, manipulating the market to their advantage. As one of 2 to 6 players, you'll need to navigate the complexities of the game, which can take some time to learn, but the payoff is worth it. With private companies offering special money-making opportunities and a large map to explore, the goal is to accumulate the most wealth by the time the bank runs out of money. Designed by Bill Dixon and first published in 1992, this game is a classic example of economic strategy and train-themed fun, perfect for those who enjoy a challenging and rewarding gaming experience.
