What this is
Rival railways compete to build networks and maximise profits by transporting goods. Players score their deliveries and add to their income or victory points, balancing their need to invest against their quest to win the game. Players use the map of Europe's lower Rhine and Ruhr region when playing a 4 or 5 player game.
