Product Features
- The feel of running a big, Class 1 Railroad (Players run hundreds of
routes with thousands of trains across the entire US)
- Sophisticated cargo routing "sim" models (One change can have a
ripple effect throughout an entire region)
- Great Multiplayer play (Up to 8 players all wheeling and dealing)
- Victory isn't a zero-sum affair (Your competitors in one area of the map
can also be your partners in another)
- Handsome graphics (Players get to compete across a map of the entire US,
watch all the different engines running on their tracks, hear authentic
sounds of the engines, see geese flying overhead, cargo ships coming into
port and watch cities produce goods)
- Cities evolve over time (Growing and shrinking according to actual
historical population records. Major cities will have well-known landmarks)
- Prestige (Many games use money as both the victory condition and the
fundamental unit of expansion, which means that when one player takes the
lead, they keep the lead. Rails uses Prestige, which can come from a variety
of sources, such as building the most track in a year, completing the
trans-continental, dominating a region, engineering an investigation into
one of your competitors)
