Description
Get ready to build your railroad empire with Empire Builder, a classic game of train transportation and economic strategy. First published in 1982, this game has been a favorite among board game enthusiasts for decades. With 2 to 6 players, you'll compete to build the most effective railroad network, picking up and delivering commodities to lucrative markets across North America. Using a unique crayon-rail system, you'll draw your train routes over a map of the continent, expanding your network and upgrading your trains as you go. With a mix of demand cards and event cards, each turn brings new opportunities and challenges. The goal is simple: be the first to connect your track to six major cities and amass a fortune of $250,000,000. With its engaging gameplay and economic themes, Empire Builder is a must-play for fans of trains and transportation games.
