one for the road ... the railroad
...
America in the 19th century: railroads are booming! Pioneer
spirit and vision are everywhere. Everyone wants to be the first
to build a railroad network across the country. Each player has
five cities and tries to connect them with a shared network of
tracks. As soon as a player has done this, the round ends. The
other players lose points. At the end of the game, the player
who has the most points left is the winner! Who will be the first
to connect his cities? Is it Casey, who was the first to build
through the mountains to the west? Or Annie, who was the one
who best made use of the others' tracks?
A quick playing event for the rest of us on get away day while
the lucky ones play in their Final matches. Trans America
is the simplest of the train games at WBC. Trans Europa
can be played instead with unanimous consent of all players in
each group.
Ewan McNay will host a Juniors version for those 12 and under
in the Heritage room on Wednesday at 9 AM. See http://www.boardgamers.org/yearbkex/jnrpge.htm |
