3rd edition of this classic game of railroad development and stock market manipulation set in the early 1800s in the eastern seaboard of the US
Players build railroad track, buy & operation trains, compete for control of RR corporations according to stock ownership, and manipulate the stock market, all to amass the greatest wealth
This version is largely a reprint of Mayfair's (2nd) edition, tho a conscious effort was made to clean up & streamline the rules
Includes a double-sided mapboard showing the same area in two styles, 117 train & stock cards, 85 track/terrain tiles, etc
This game was one of the earliest 18xx game series games published (by Avalon Hill), and remains a favorite
