📖 About This Game
Pennsylvania Railroad is a big game, with a three panel mapboard, and it has the Pennsylvania Railroad, the New York Central Railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, the Boston & Maine Railroad and the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad. The map stretches from Maine to Virginia, Missouri to Canada.
The game is for 3 to 6 players and takes about 2 hours to play. There is no luck, just hard driving economic warfare between the competing railroads. Railroad sell shares, build track, develop logging camps, mines & communities and pay out dividends to their shareholders. At the end of the game, the player with the most money wins.
