America is opening the Great Plains and America’s railroads are forging ahead, across the Mississippi and going West as fast as they can. Hardy pioneers are building towns & cities as they raise cattle and grow wheat & other crops. The railroads are needed to carry this bounty to the hungry East. Six major railroads are funded by aggressive investors looking to get rich in this venture. The railroads vie for dominance in this expanding market, driving west.
Players are investors and railroad Presidents in this struggle to capitalize this explosive market to the greatest extent possible. Balancing time vs money is critical in this game. The ability to react to organically growing markets increasing constantly adds a level of decision making where recognizing savvy opportunities
is a key to success.

The Civil War is over, and it's time to get back to America's business: making money. The railroads are the place to do it, and the American Southwest is booming, with robber barons starting and funding railroads across Texas and beyond. Savvy investments will pay off handsomely, others not so much. What sort of dividends should be paid versus how much should be kept by the railroad for further expansion? Each railroad president must decide for themselves, keeping the shareholders happy or being forced out in a hostile takeover.
In the luck-free game Southern Pacific, six railroads vie for dominance in Texas as they approach from Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma in the 1800s. The selling of shares finances these railroads, with the president of each railroad auctioning stock, building new track, acquiring existing track from other companies, or paying dividends. "Bull market" auctions at the end of each round can unexpectedly disrupt a president's control of a company. The game ends when one railroad has built all of its track or all stocks have been acquired. A stock earns dividends during the game, but has no value in the final scoring. In the end, whoever has the most cash in hand wins.

American Robber Barons look to exploit America's midwest in this collusive game of explosive railroad expansion in the late 1800s. In Chicago & NorthWestern, players start and expand railroads from Chicago to the Rocky Mountains. Money talks in this game of savvy decisions and smart execution, with dividends fueling further expansion. Shifting stockholder alliances focus on attaining more and more wealth for the stockholders. Self interest drives this game. The game lasts about an hour and the player with the most money at the end of it wins.
This is not a friendly game.
