In early railway-era England, investors back competing rail companies to build the dominant network and retire with the most money.

Gameplay

Buy shares and place rail tiles to extend companies’ lines, triggering mergers and payouts as networks collide. The tension is committing to growth without handing rivals the best profits—or watching your favorite company get swallowed at the worst moment.
