Description

In London Necropolis Railway, you're tasked with designing a railway system to transport the deceased and their loved ones to a new cemetery outside the city limits. It's 1849 and London is struggling to cope with the cholera epidemic, so the city needs a efficient and prestigious system to handle the needs of its citizens. You'll compete with other planners to submit the best proposal, and the most successful design will be awarded the contract. As you play, you'll manage your resources, staff, and improvements to your London Terminus, the Brookwood Necropolis, and the Railway that connects them. You'll choose cards and take actions to improve your system, earning points for prestige and filling the Necropolis. The game is easy to learn, but challenging to master, and it's perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a fun and strategic experience that lasts around 60 to 90 minutes.
