Description
Railroad Barons is a game of high-stakes finance and strategic planning, where two players compete to corner the market and come out on top. In this 45-minute game, you'll buy and sell stock in holding companies, which in turn buy railways to generate revenue. It's a battle of wits, with no random elements to get in the way - just you and your opponent, vying for control of the most lucrative companies. As the game unfolds, assets that were once profitable can quickly become obsolete, so you'll need to stay one step ahead and plan for future growth and investment. With its unique blend of card drafting and stock holding mechanics, Railroad Barons offers a thrilling challenge for fans of economic and train-themed games. Designed by Helmut Ohley and first published in 2010, this game is a must-try for anyone looking for a fun and strategic experience.
