Description

Dual Gauge is a train-themed board game where players build a shared track network using standard and narrow gauge tracks. The game is designed for 3 to 5 players and takes around 60 to 90 minutes to play. Players can utilize the track network to expand their routes, but they need to manage their funds and stock values carefully. The game features a unique two-dimensional stock market where players can purchase trains and token station spaces, but these come at a cost that can decrease their stock value. The base game comes with two maps, each with its own twists and challenges. Players can contend with difficult terrain or take on debt to keep underfunded railroads afloat, all while trying to outmaneuver their rivals. With its normal complexity and engaging gameplay, Dual Gauge is a great option for fans of train-themed games and route-building mechanics.
