Revisit the early days of the Age of Steam as you begin with a locomotive (the venerable John Bull, the first locomotive to run in North America) and a vision (your Tycoon "mission" card). From there, build your budding railroad network into a vast empire. Connect New York to Chicago, earn the most money, develop bigger and faster locomotives and maybe even span North America and build the Transcontinental Railway! This game is preceded by the designer's other Winsome train games: Age of Steam, Australian Railways, Veld Railroads, Volldampf, Pampas Railroads, New England Railways, Prairie Railroads, Veld Spoorweg, Lancashire Railways, and Ferrocarriles Pampas. Railroad Tycoon was the result of a collaboration with Glenn Drover, in which the mechanics and game-play of Martin Wallace's Age of Steam were simplified and streamlined and attractive over-produced components were added, in order to make Railroad Tycoon more appealing to less hardcore gamers and more accessible to a wider audience. Note: The board itself is gigantic (about 36x45 inches, 91x114 cm) and requires a huge table or playing on the floor. Re-implements: Age of Steam Re-implemented by: Railways of the World Similar to: Steam
