Description
Southern Rails is a fun and engaging board game where 3 to 5 players compete to build railroad networks across the southeast United States. The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, and typically takes around 60 minutes to play. Players start by selecting stocks from six available companies, then take turns placing track cubes on a hexagon grid to build their networks. As players build their networks, they earn revenue and points based on the cities they connect and the size of their networks. The game is won by the player who accumulates the most points, earned by having stock in the most successful railroads. With its unique blend of network building and stock holding, Southern Rails offers a thrilling experience for fans of economic and train-themed games, and its simple rules make it a great introduction to the genre.
