Tracks to Telluride is a unique and captivating board game that will transport you back to 19th century Colorado, where the railroad is booming and the competition is fierce. Designed by John Bohrer, this game was first published in 1994 and has been entertaining players with its innovative Crayon Rail System ever since. With 2 to 6 players, you'll embark on a thrilling adventure, racing to build railroad tracks and connect mines to cities, all while navigating the challenges of the Colorado terrain. The game's clever board construction mechanism, which features four sheets joined at one corner and rotated out to display, adds an extra layer of excitement to the gameplay. As you play, you'll use crayons to draw your tracks on a hex map, carefully planning your route to maximize your income.
