Railroad investors race to profit as a single line pushes west from Minneapolis to Seattle.

Gameplay

To score the most over three runs, you place investment cubes in unreached cities or extend the rail line forward along the map. Every turn is a tense guess about which towns will pay out and which bets will be stranded when the train hits Seattle.
