Description

Get ready to ride the rails and make your fortune in Penny Rails, a game of investing and expansion set in the American West. You and your opponent will take on the role of shareholders in three train lines, the Lincoln, Jefferson, and Roosevelt lines, all vying to expand westward across the United States. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 20 minutes, this game is perfect for a quick and exciting competition. Through hand management and strategic tile placement, you'll build routes and increase your stock value, all while trying to outmaneuver your opponent. With only 18 cards and some loose change, you can relive the excitement of westward expansion right on your tabletop. The player with the most profits when the first train pulls into the rail yard of St. Louis wins, so every move counts in this thrilling game of investment and strategy.
