1882: Assiniboia (2019)

About this game

In 1882, the CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILROAD pioneered railway construction in the territorial region of Assiniboia, an area now divided up across the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The area was a hotbed of prospector and investor speculation, as hundreds of square miles of fertile land were made available for colonizing. The Canadian Prairies railway boom had begun. This is an 18xx game set in the territorial region of Assiniboia Canada. Some 1882 features: full capitalization a private company which allows moving of a station marker neutral station markers a public company (Canadian National) that uses only neutral markers —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 3.8/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
