Railways of Europe
2005 Martin Wallace published a railway game called Railway Tycoon with Eagle Games, later the game was re-issued as Railways of the World: You play rounds consisting of three phases: Auction to determine First Player, Player Actions and finally Income and Dividends. Player Actions are Track Building, Urbanize, Upgrade engines, Deliver one Goods Cube and – in the expansions – take A Railway Operations Card. When the last “empty city” marker is placed on the board the end game starts, you finish the round and then a last complete round is played. Then the player with most money wins.
You use the rules for “Railways of the World” with some modifications. Hexes are either mountains or water or open territory. Bonds can only be issued when they need money for purchases or for making a bid or actions and there are new operations cards – Passenger Line and Tunnel Engineer as well as City Charter and Capital Charter. As in the basic game, the game ends with a number of “empty” cities and you win if you own the most money from shares minus outstanding bonds.
