In American Rails, you'll take on the role of a wealthy capitalist, managing a portfolio of stocks and bonds in six fictional railroad companies.

As you play, you'll experience a high level of replayability thanks to features like variable turn order and city dilution. With a playtime of 90 minutes, American Rails is a substantial game that will challenge and engage you. Designed by Tim Harrison, this 2009 game is a great choice for fans of economic and train-themed games, with a normal level of complexity that's easy to learn for experienced board game players.
