Martian Rails is a railroad building game set on a fictional planet Mars. Simultaneously, the game allows a world of canals and noble savages, a cold high altitude desert globe, a nearly airless planet, terraforming, nanotech cyberpunk and everything in between from 100+ years of science fiction stories set on Mars. The game further captures the mood of those stories and the feel of the planet. The game uses a further refinement of the wrap-around mechanism used in Lunar Rails to simulate travel across a 3D opposed to a 2D map. Having to think in 3D wraparound mode adds additional "brain-burn" to the Empire Builder franchise... sometimes the shortest distance between two points isn't the obvious straight line.

See crayon rail games for more crayon fun.

Part of Mayfair's line of train crayon-rail games. Here you can make deliveries to any part of the moon, which is why they used the double-hemisphere map. You can connect from the edge of one map to the corresponding point on the other hemisphere's map.

One addition to the events are meteors. When they strike, any rail connect to the point they strike or connecting to any of the 6 dots around that are destroyed. Other events include Decompression, Solar Flares, and Cosmic Rays.
