Railroad investors compete to build lines across the eastern United States and turn company shares into the biggest fortune.

Gameplay

You bid for company shares, place track to expand rail lines on the map, and develop towns to increase payouts, aiming to finish with the most cash. The pressure is reading opponents’ valuations and timing expansions so dividends favor you more than the shareholders you just enriched.
