Continental Divide (2013)

About this game

A multi-hour no-randomness economic game somewhat in the mold of Baltimore & Ohio set in the continental USA west of the Appalachians. Players found companies, determine share distributions and capitalisations, invest in companies they and others have founded, expand the companies across the country, and compete for the most victory points (not net worth) at the end of the game. Released as part of the Winsome Games' Essen Collection - 2013.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 3.6/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
