📖 About This Game
While an 18xx game at heart, this game is designed to reflect both Wyoming’s core railroad history, and the effects of the coal and oil industry on its towns and cities. The gameplay is driven by the railroads which formed the territory and later the state. The boom-and-bust cycle directly impacts the towns and cities of the state and therefore the revenue of the railroads. Coal and Oil Companies in this game do not necessarily represent coal or oil discoveries, but instead represent investment for development in the area – indirect drivers of revenue. The map is reflective of the immense emptiness and its widely varied and rugged terrain.
