It is the 1900’s and America’s railroads are booming. Each player has a set of 5 cities that he must connect with a network of railroads. The players start their networks separately, but, eventually, the networks will interconnect. When networks are connected, the players may extend the network from any place on the network they can reach. When a player’s 5 cities are connected, the round end and losing players lose points based on how far they are from connecting their cities. After several rounds, the player who has the most points, wins the game!
