Description
West Riding is a train game that drops you into the UK during the Industrial Revolution, where you'll compete to build new lines and come out on top. With 3 to 6 players, you'll need to navigate the complex rules, which can take some time to learn, but trust us, it's worth it. The game revolves around two types of shares, Basic and Grouping, which can be traded in at a 2:1 rate, and the grouping shares slowly gain value as the game progresses. As you play, you'll need to keep track of the eight railroads' values, which change with each turn, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game. With a playtime of 180 minutes, West Riding is a game that requires dedication, but the payoff is worth it. Designed by Han Heidema and published in 2000, this game is a classic in the train game genre, and its unique mechanics, including auction and stock holding, make it a must-play for fans of the category.
