Produktbeschreibung
This, the second game in the Early Railways Series following Lancashire Railways is set in New England.
The game's core mechanics include bidding for the right to build track and then shipping goods over that track to gain income.
Mechanically, this game is identical to Lancashire Railways, though the map is naturally unique to this game.
New England Railways puts players in the roles of those who built the railroads that linked the booming industries
of 1800s New England–from the shipbuilders of Connecticut to the forests of Maine; from the fisheries of Massachusetts
through the mountains of New Hampshire and on to the foundries of Albany.
Players are investors who risk their businesses and money on this new technology, as they build railway links through
the mountains and over the rivers of historic New England.
Railroads are expensive propositions. Indeed, players must borrow money from banks to amass the necessary capital
to build these railways. Can they make a profit while paying the interest on these loans, and indeed, even while paying them off?
This is also a game of walking a financial tightrope, maintaining a careful cash flow from the railroad’s profits,
thus enriching the players, while constantly and vigilantly servicing those bank loans.
The risks are huge and some overly brash investors will rapidly find themselves in a quicksand of debt; while other,
more careful players will reap handsome profits.
