North American Railways

Players act as directors of multiple railway companies while building a network across the United States. Each turn involves laying track and managing shareholdings: acquire and play share cards, place city markers, and expand company routes. Control of companies is determined by majority ownership, and players balance investment, company growth, and cash flow to maximize end-game money. The game supports 3–5 players, uses colored share cards and markers for five companies, and resolves victory by total cash rather than company count.
