Description
Railway Boom
Recommended for Ages 14 & up
2-4 Players
120 minutes playtime
In the late 19th century, during the early Meiji era, Japan opened its first railway line between Shimbashi and Yokohama. This new mode of transportation sparked a railway boom across the country.
Local entrepreneurs, and later powerful tycoons, established new companies that grew into large railway corporations throughout the Taishō and Shōwa eras.
As players, you will take on the roles of these tycoons, building and managing your own railway empires as you compete for the most renown.
Railway Boom recreates this era of industry through gameplay by having players balance resource management with the growth of their railways connecting various cities across Japan.
