Description
Harzbahn 1873 is a game of strategic investment and management, set in the Harz mountain range in northern Germany. Players take on the role of entrepreneurs, aiming to end the mining crisis in the area by connecting mines to the railroad network. With 2 to 5 players, the game is a complex and engaging experience that requires careful decision-making and planning. As players navigate the game, they must balance investments in railroads and mines, managing 7 public railroad companies, 15 private mining companies, and up to 5 public mining companies. The game starts with independent mines struggling to deliver products, but as rails extend and mines connect, profits begin to roll in. Players must then decide whether to reap okay revenues or take their mining companies public, all while navigating the challenges of terrain and market competition in a game that can last up to 300 minutes.
