Coast-to-Coast Rails (2009)

About this game

Coast-to-Coast Rails is a railroad investing and route building game for 3-6 players. Players buy shares in railroad companies and fund track building with the hopes of large profits as the railroads complete coast-to-coast routes. While the cube railroad mechanic is similar to Winsome Games' Historic Railroads System, the concepts for this game are simpler and less cutthroat. A great introduction to cooperation and competition in a railroad game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
